==Lyrics and composition==
Tegan spoke of the song during an interview with ''Rolling Stone'' magazine in September 2012, saying "Although I do imagine that this would be an okay song to make out to, all I intended was to write something sweet that reminded the listener of a time before complicated relationships, drama and heartbreak. I was writing about my youth, a time when we got closer by linking arms and walking down our school hallway, or talked all night on the telephone about every thought or experience we'd ever had. It wasn't necessarily even about hooking up or admitting your feelings back then. In fact, that rarely happened. It was the anticipation of something maybe happening that was truly exciting and satisfying. We were perpetually getting closer, yet we rarely got physical with one another, if ever. These relationships existed in a state of sexual and physical ambiguity."〔(Song Premiere: Tegan and Sara Grow 'Closer' | Music News | Rolling Stone )〕 Sara encouraged Tegan to be less self-deprecating when writing the song. Tegan was hesitant about writing a straightforward love song and was concerned that using the phrase "get physical" would remind listeners of Australian singer Olivia Newton-John's 1981 single "Physical".
"Closer" is set in common time with a tempo of 137 beats per minute. Its rhythm uses a four-to-the-floor beat with a prominent kick drum. The song is written in C major, with a I-IV-V-I circle progression.〔 The song's sections make use of sharply contrasting dynamics, eventually leading to a synthesizer breakdown.〔〔 The song was influenced by Tegan's "favorite, mid-'90s dance tracks" by acts like Erasure and Ace of Base.
