Parker detailed the song'southward globetrotting development in an interview with Under the Radar in 2015:

I think virtually of that song was put together at different times, when I was on bout, actually. I remember information technology came to me, I think I was walking to my hotel room in Oklahoma. And so the chorus, I was at a festival in Hungary or Turkey. And and so the midsection, the jam chip, I was on a train. That's a bit looping and a weird repetitive thing going on, and I had my laptop on a train in French republic, going to Toulouse. I recall with that song, one thing led to some other. I was just jamming by myself in the style I do, and I put it on a loop to see what sounds absurd. I just see where information technology takes me.[iii]

Composition [edit]

"Let Information technology Happen" is a psychedelic pop, disco[4] [5] and synth-pop[6] vocal. At one point, the song begins to skip, reminiscent of a skipping compact disc.
