"falling asleep (wouldn't be so bad)" illustrates the consuming misery of being without the person they love. This track has a similar sound to artists like Billie Eilish and FKA Twigs. Throughout the song, the artist's vocals shine. The piano instrumental and the layered vocals show off the smooth yet raspy tone that Cartier has. Overall, listeners will love this heart-wrenching ballad because of the beautiful instrumental and vulnerable tone in the singer's voice.
The single begins with a soft piano that sets the tone for the rest of the track. The piano has a somber feel that is matched by Cartier's vocals. A highlight of the track would have to be the final chorus. In the final chorus, the musician layers vocals and shows off her wide vocal range during a breathtaking falsetto run. The song ends with the instrumental slowly fading and one last line, "If the last thing I was to feel, is you loving me back" the fading instrumental emphasizes the impact of this last line.
