Content
"Four Walls" is a melancholic ballad featuring prominent piano and drum or handclap instrumentation. Its lyrics depict the narrator finding her "perfect man" and relate the comfort of true love to the feeling of being at home. Tom at Sputnikmusic also found the song to evoke the nervousness of a first love. The last repetition of the chorus notably changes the lyric "Those four walls now are home" to "Those three words now are home", alluding to a shorthand for "I love you".

Critical reception
Lydia Jenkin of The New Zealand Herald labelled the song one of the album's highlights, writing that "It... holds its own with expertly layered vocal harmonies, and perfectly timed bass drops." Direct Lyrics contributor Kevipod was complimentary of the "peaceful ballad" styling of the song. "Georgia Nott does all the singing," he writes, "and she does a beautiful job. ... If you’re currently in love, and living under the same roof with your partner, then you'll want to listen to this song."
