Composition and lyrical interpretation
"Not a Bad Thing" is a mid-tempo guitar-led adult contemporary pop song; the album length of the song is a eleven minutes and thirty-two seconds as a result of the hidden track "Pair of Wings", while the radio edit is shortened to four minutes and twenty-seven seconds. The song starts as a "as a breezy, hand-clapper". According to Amy Gravelle of Entertainmentwise, "Not a Bad Thing" is reminiscent of Timberlake's earlier works with NSYNC. Annie Zaleski of The A.V. Club noted that the song sounds like a castoff from the American band OneRepublic.

Lyrically, Timberlake croons the lines "Don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me" and promises to be fealty to his love interest because she's worth it.
