Composition
Jennings said in an interview with Jet that "S.E.X." was "a song I had wanted to write for a long time". He elaborated that upon returning home from his prison sentence, he noticed "how quickly women are developing and how guys get the wrong impression and how [women] get the wrong impression of themselves".
