The performance was compared to ones by both Rihanna and Robyn.

"Voodoo" is a synth-pop song that lasts two minutes and fifty-one seconds. According to AllMusic's Andrew Leahey, the composition consists of Oh Land "layering spoken word verses over disco beats". Kim Skotte from Politiken felt the song was close to resembling teen pop music, whereas a critic for Billboard described it as a "quickie synth-pop" track. During the chorus, Oh Land repeats the same refrain consisting of "It's voodoo you do" as the only lyrics. John Calvert from Drowned in Sound jokingly suggested that the refrain originated from Reeves and Mortimer's comedy acts.
