The lyrics of "Alcohol You" were written by Breyan Isaac and Ionuț Armaș. The latter composed the song alongside its sole producer Viky Red. Global Records made it available for digital download in various countries on 21 February 2020. Lyrically, the "dramatic" ballad discusses emotions such as sadness, despair, hope, nostalgia and finding inner peace; Romanian Television (TVR) labelled it as a "genuine anthem of universal love". Critics noted a minimalistic production, with one comparing it to the works of American singer Billie Eilish. For the purpose of Roxen's Eurovision Song Contest 2020 participation, the closing chorus of "Alcohol You" was remastered, with "extended notes , new strings dial up the urgency and percussion" being added. Throughout the song, its title is used as a word play for "I'll call you". Regarding Roxen's vocal delivery, an ESCUnited staff member noted that "he does that grating indie voice where monosyllabic words are contorted ('mind' is my-eye-und, 'line' is lye-eye-ine, etc)".
