“Call My Dad” is the only track on The Click written entirely by Ryan Met of AJR. He explained to Zach Sang:

[Verse 1: Ryan Met]
Oh my God, what's going on?
This night got fuckin' weird

I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
No, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home

No, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
No, I feel so broke up, I wanna go home
