"Bang Bang" is an up-tempo, "soulful" song, that features a "clap-heavy" production, built over "big bouncy beats and horn blasts."

It's in the key of C minor, with the vocals making use of the C blues scale. The tempo is 150 BPM (Allegro).

The melody of the chorus has been compared to that of "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham!.

Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone called the song a "perfect Max Martin throw-down" that "fuses Nelly's 'Country Grammar' with Wham!'s 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go,' which is some truly twisted pop archaeology."

Zach Frydenlund from Complex praised Jessie J's and Ariana's heavenly vocals in the song but concentrated more on Nicki's "catchy killer verse" stating that "it's Nicki who really steals the show with her verse".

Lewis Corner from Digital Spy gave the song four and a half stars out of five and said that is "one of the year's most electrifying pop anthems".

Chris Martins from Spin stated that the song is "powerful", and credits Minaj for the song's noteworthy energy.

The song debuted on the US Billboard Hot Digital Songs chart at number one with 230,000 digital downloads sold in its first week.
