The song is a slow R&B and pop-rock ballad. The lyrics of the songs express Big Bang's memories of the past 10 years and members' connection with their fans. G-Dragon talked about creating the song and "wanted the members to sing "Last Dance" as if they were talking, and really mean what they were singing. I wanted a lot of emotion in it".

Upon its release, the song charted second in four charts on China's QQ Music including the daily, popularity index, music video, and K-pop music video charts, only behind the band's other single "Fxxk It".

The single charted third on the Gaon Streaming Chart with over 5.3 million streams. In Billboard's World Digital Songs, the song charted third with 4,000 sales in three days.

Tamar Herman of Billboard called it "evocative pop-rock ballad that serves as an ode to the band’s time together, promising “I will return to you.” The poignant rap from T.O.P at the song’s climax is accompanied by a sample of cheering fans, incorporating BIGBANG’s fans into their farewell for the foreseeable future." Jeff Benjamin of Fuse praised the production and subject of the song, and notes the song message to the band's fans "the track reads like a love letter, but it's probably more likely that BIGBANG is singing to their fans "It won't be long."
