Īccording to Mabel, the track is about being strong and saying, "no, you had your chance", after a breakup with someone who took you for granted and started to call you again. In the final pre-chorus, a high-pass filter cuts bass frequencies while the final chorus keyboard riff is doubled and a shaker is added. The breakdown has the same music as the chorus, but uses a heavily pitch shifted vocal doubled with an octave halfway through. Cabasa, handclaps and shakers are added in this section, ahead of the second chorus that includes a snare drum triplet fill in the final measure. In the second verse, a high snare drum plays a frequent two and four backbeat before reintroducing the kick drum which dominates the second pre-chorus.

A reggaeton groove is introduced in the chorus with an extended reverberation percussive hit, and a single D chord is played for two full measures at the end. Conversely, she performs in a monotonous style in the chorus, and her vocals have a parallel lower octave with additional Auto-Tune. The chord sequence changes to Dmaj7–A–E in the pre-chorus, while Mabel's vocal increases from A to C ♯. Mabel starts the first verse one second into the song accompanied by a three side-clave keyboard riff introducing the main chord progression of Bm–A–E. It is a tropical house pop song with bounce and bass-heavy production, and dancehall and R&B undertones. Written in the key of B Dorian mode, "Don't Call Me Up" runs at a tempo of 99 beats per minute. It was the first song Mabel recorded where her lead vocals from the final and demo versions sounded nearly identical. Finding the hook simple and relatable, they decided to use it in the verses as well. The song stemmed from the refrain's "Don't Call Me Up" hook which was brought up during a discussion they had about ignoring a phone call from a former lover and how good that felt. She went into the session feeling sad about a previous relationship and wanted to write a positive breakup song to feel better.

Unlike her previous writing and recording sessions, Mabel only had one day to work with Mac and Purcell, and the recording excluded the harmonies and ad-libs common in her previous material.
Mabel wrote "Don't Call Me Up" with Camille Purcell, and Steve Mac, who also produced the song.
