The lyrics tread on the edge, with a woman that is in it for the thrills and falling for her despite knowing how it can end badly for both involved. It's the sort of attraction that provides that high of ecstasy but in the end, when the high runs down, you know that falling for this kind of attraction will only lead to a broken heart.

The production behind "Danger" brings about an island reggae vibe mixed with pop vocals brought about by Inigo's impressive vocal range. It was produced by DJ Flict, a Grammy-nominated producer who's worked with the likes of Meghan Trainor, Wiz Khalifa, and Fifth Harmony due to his youthful sound and hit production style. Another Grammy-nominated artist Common Kings complements Inigos lines on the 2nd verse of the song.
