Composition and release
Re-using the chorus from the 1991 single "Let's Talk About Sex" by hip hop trio Salt-n-Pepa, "Sex" takes a more pro-sex approach, as opposed to the original's talk about safe sex. The song is a trap song with elements of R&B. It is set in the key of A minor and has a tempo of 105 beats per minute.
The song was first released by Spinnin' Records on February 19, 2016. This was followed by a release as a digital download to Beatport on April 8, 2016, and a release to the iTunes Store by Casablanca Records on May 26, 2016.
