Composition
Barry Walters of Wondering Sound said that most of Worlds uses "ballad-speed" beats per minute.

Songs
Worlds opens with "Divinity", which contains vocals by Canadian singer Amy Millan, from the bands Stars and Broken Social Scene. Robinson chose the track as the first one because it was the first song he wrote that was in the style he wanted for Worlds. Barry Walters of Wondering Sound said that it features common characteristics of EDM, such as "a walloping beat, a wall of synths [and] a breathy female cameo". Elissa Stolman of Vice described the track as an indie-electronic "festival rave anthem", with synths that resembled M83's "Midnight City". "Sad Machine" is the first time Robinson ever used his vocals on a track. Describing it as a "duet between a lonely robot girl and the human boy", Robinson used Avanna, a Vocaloid voice, to provide the lead vocals for the song. With a mid-tempo instrumental and "starry-eyed melodic structure", Larry Fitzmaurice of Pitchfork said that this was one of some tracks on Worlds that resembled the "high-wire synth-pop fantasias" of Passion Pit. Lucas Villa of AXS said that the track goes to the "dreamier side of electronic music", describing it as "[h]eroic and awe-inspiring", while Las Vegas Weekly Mike Prevatt identified inspirations from M83 and Sigur Rós.
