"Haven't Had Enough" is primarily a pop song, with additional influences of pop rock guitars and 80's funk.[4] It was written and produced solely by Marianas Trench lead singer Josh Ramsay. The Magazine called the song "somewhat different" from their previous material, but noted that it still has a distinctive "Marianas Trench feel".[5]
