According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing Group, "So Real" is composed in the key of E♭ major and runs through a moderately slow dance beat infused metronome of 92 beats per minute. In its lyrics, Moore sings that what she feels about a guy is "so, so real".[2] The song was written by Tony Battaglia, Shaun Fisher and produced by The Wasabees. In March 2000, a French version of the song called "C'est Si Facile" was recorded.
