==Composition==
The extended play has an overall Pop/R&B sound; however, the EP dips into other genres such gospel and soul music. The EP opens with a spoken intro which is a poem originally written by author Aeni, while R&B singer Marsha Ambrosius produces the tracks melody.〔 JoJo speaks in a sultry voice "that sucks you right in", JoJo says "Rest your head and close your eyes / Everything will be okay / For when you wake with the sweet sunrise / It will be a brand new day."〔(JoJo Free Download | NYLON MAGAZINE )〕〔(New Music: JoJo - '#LoveJo' EP | The Honesty Hour )〕 The following track is a cover of the 1986 jazz/R&B song "Caught Up in the Rapture" originally recorded by American R&B singer Anita Baker from her second studio album ''Rapture''. The song was written by Gary Glenn and Dianne Quander while Da Internz handled the song's production.〔 Idolator said the song "dissolves into glitchy loops" before transitioning into the next track,〔 a Phil Collins cover from his 1985 album ''No Jacket Required'', the original pop rock anthem "Take Me Home". ''Time'' magazine called JoJo's version "a clear standout" on the EP, continuing calling it "all militant stomp buried under ambient noise; her voice soars and crashes over the glitchy, stuttering beat. It's not the most obvious love song, but who cares — it's good." The song lyrics refer to a patient in a mental institution, and it is based on the novel ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest''. The EP finishes with JoJo's "gospel-inflected" rendition of the "spiritual" 1991 song "Glory" inspired by opera singer Kathleen Battle.〔〔 Produced by JoJo's long-time friend and vocal coach Stevie Mackey, "Glory" sees JoJo's "soothing vocals soar and really bring out the goosebumps teasing us of her outstanding talent and what is to come".〔(Review: JoJo - #LoveJo (EP) - Hit The Floor )〕
