Composition

The song combines elements of pop, R&B, old-school music, disco and funk, particularly styles from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The song uses a bassline sampled from \"All in the Way You Get Down\" by Ray Parker, Jr., synthetic strings, electric keys, whip sound effects and percussion layered with a sample of a phone ringing. Tyler, the Creator sings most of the song, in a falsetto similar to that of his album Igor. In a tongue-in-cheek attitude, he depicts himself attempting to connect with his lover on the phone, longing for her to answer his call and being held back by his apprehension about forming a relationship.\n

Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews. Mackenzie Cummings-Grady of Billboard ranked it as the fifth best song on Don't Tap the Glass, writing that \"Tyler effortlessly glides along here\" and \"It's sleek and smooth and unbelievably catchy.\" Shahzaib Hussain of Clash wrote \"The avant-funk of 'Ring Ring Ring' is perhaps the most decadently smooth Tyler has ever sounded on record; the light, nimble, hooky track a highlight in a collection that feels more like a scrappy compilation of retro-futurist cuts, than a unified album.\" Gabriel Bras Nevares of HotNewHipHop commented \"'Ring Ring Ring' goes down particularly smoothly thanks to how the soft singing compliments the airy and charming instrumental\". Pitchfork's Stephen Kearse described Tyler, the Creator as \"lovestruck and dewy-eyed like a Motown singer\", adding \"The disco strings and electric key melodies up the yearning, retro feel.\" Melodic's Taylor Swinton stated \"It's a track made for movement, but also for reflection, evoking the feel of an afternoon drive to the beach.\" Reviewing the album for NME, Niall Smith considered the song among the \"real show-stealers.\" Paul Attard of Slant Magazine responded less favorably, commenting \"Even the rare attempts at introspection feel phoned-in, dulled by vague abstraction: 'I had to protect my heart/And build the wall so tall, I couldn't look over,' Tyler croons on 'Ring Ring Ring.' It's a line that plays more like a motivational caption than a confessional.\"\n
