"Will We Talk?" depicts the tale of a one-night stand.[3] Robin Murray of Clash magazine explained that the song is "a crisp new indie rock burner that rattles along with a rock 'n' roll spirit".[2] Tom Skinner of NME described the song as "a heady blast of high-octane, melody-packed, smash'n'grab rock'n'roll that launches from the traps at full pelt and doesn't relent until the guitars and a string-section subside three minutes later."[4]
