"Heart Like Mine" is an uptempo country in the key of A♭ major song backed primarily by electric guitar, banjo, and steel guitar. The song's female narrator describes being a little rough around the edges ("I ain’t the kind you take home to mama / I ain’t the kind to wear no ring").

He concluded that the song is a "catchy number [...] made for radio."[3]
