Music and lyrics

"When Can I See You Again?" is an uptempo dance-pop and synth-pop single. It features Young's "light vocals over a bed of pounding drums and twinkly synths". Young told AOL Music, "As a huge fan of Disney animation films growing up, it was a real honor to write 'When Can I See You Again' for Wreck-It Ralph. I felt like it was really challenging to try to live up to the Disney legacy. I had a blast." Since October 1, 2014, a Cantonese-language arrangement has been used as one of the two theme songs for Hong Kong Disneyland's Paint the Night Parade, alongside "Baroque Hoedown". An expanded version of the parade premiered at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, on May 22, 2015, and features new lyrics and vocals recorded by Young.

It's great to be back and feel like I'm 12 years old again in the arcade."
