Composition
"Tulala" is three minutes and twenty-six seconds and incorporates upbeat bubblegum pop track characterized by bright synths, steady four on the floor percussion, and sharp guitar riffs. The track draws inspiration from the early 2010s local pop and hip-hop scene, reminiscent of the Diary ng Panget soundtrack. The girl group emphasizes a hook-driven structure but presents it with more refined production and performance, aiming for a contemporary sound rather than a nostalfic repeat. The song blends rap verses with melodic vocals to showcase the group's versatility and has been noted for its dreamy quality themes of love.Reception
Noelle Alarcon of The Flying Lugaw said that P-pop incorporates influences from the Hallyu Wave. He characterized FlipMusic's production style as drawing on K-pop's "a little bit of this, a little bit of that" approach, in which songs are presented as an auditory stage. Alarcon added that this method for the song continues trends found in the discographies of artists such as Nadine Lustre and Donnalyn Bartolome.Credits and personnel
