  ## Composition
  
  "Clash" is a British hip hop track with elements of UK drill, built around a "repetitive, haunting piano" melody accompanied by "spectral, filtered synth." Lyrically, the song features "egotistic proclamations that flex their respective riches." Stormzy's verse includes subliminal lyrics targeted at British rapper Chip, which Chip responded to the same day.
