The song was written by its producers Ammo, DallasK and Ester Dean. The song was initially offered to Fifth Harmony when their A&R executive, Chris, played during the recording sessions for the album, when the demo started playing they considered it as "different," accepting to record the song in the following sessions. The vocals were recorded and produced by Chris "TEK" O'Ryan. Phill Tan mixed the track while the audio engineering was carried out by Josh Cadwin. The audio mastering was done by Michelle Mancini. "He Like That" officially impacted the US contemporary hit radio on September 19, 2017.

"He Like That" exhibits influences from reggae music and displays elements of R&B and hip-hop and genres creating a uptempo danceable rhythm. The song is built on a guitar-driven groove. Lyrically, the song is written from a female perspective who praises an attractive male figure describing his characteristics. The song uses a interpolation from "Pumps and a Bump" performed by MC Hammer which appears mostly during the pre-chorus and bridge. The appreciation is further demonstrated in the lyrics of the first verse sung by Dinah Jane: “You got that good boy attitude, and yeah I kinda like it. You got the tats on your arm, got a bad girl excited,” Ally Brooke continues to explain the characteristics of the attractive man singing: ”He got that rough neck swaggy, but he know how to hide it/He got that dope boy cash, but he get it nine to five-ing." The chorus uses repetitive lines.
