"Children" is one of the pioneering tracks of dream house, a genre of electronic dance music characterized by dream-like piano melodies, and a steady four-on-the-floor bass drum.
Critic Boris Barabanov claimed a similarity between "Children" and Russian singer Garik Sukachov's song "Гарик Сукачев - Напои меня водой" ("Napoi menia vodoi"), and says the song was written before "Children".
