Composition

"New Religion" heavily builds on the Faithless song "Insomnia" (1995) and incorporates elements of its original production. Rexha stated that the song is about "letting go and getting lost in the music" and was intended to be "a love letter to music itself" and its power to rescue people from dark places: "when the bass hits, you feel it in your chest and suddenly you feel alive again".
