The finale of adan diaz's newest EP ah-dawn is the seventh track "young picasso", a love song about the singer's romantic interest. Written by him and Sean Kennedy, diaz remarks on his crush's beauty, singing about how she is so breathtaking that he had to make a song dedicated to her so he can express his love for her. The song is titled "young picasso" because he says that even if he had the same skills as Picasso, he still would be unable to paint her accurately due to her being that beautiful. He sings the lines "[...] I could buy you a palace // I'll treat you like royalty", another example of his unwavering love.
"young picasso" is primarily a ballad, filled with piano chord compositions that perfectly align with diaz's outstanding vocals. He shows his large vocal range in the chorus, harmonizing with himself as he effortlessly switches octaves. Drums are introduced in the second verse, and then the second chorus adds more elements in the production, with an ambient synth in the background that ties everything together. There is an instrumental outro to the song, expanding on the strings that were once just short sound effects, and now lead out the song, and collectively, the whole EP.
