It is an "Afro-Latin style" pop song with a "heavy" Latin rhythm. Lyrically, the song sees Le Sserafim declare that difficult times are stimulus for growth and that they will become stronger with such a mindset. It was composed in the key of B-flat minor, with a tempo of 105 beats per minute. Reception

Gladys Yeo of NME wrote, "The song tears away the cool confidence of 'Fearless' and bursts with life an infectious energy previously unseen from Le Sserafim. While the track's ever-present pipe effect borders on grating, the intense, rhythmic beats of 'Antifragile' make for such a thrilling experience that it barely even matters". On July 2023, Rolling Stone ranked the song at #79 on their list of The 100 Greatest Songs in the History of Korean Pop Music. Music video 
The music video for "Antifragile" was released on October 17, 2022, at midnight KST, 18 hours before the EP's release. In the music video, Le Sserafim go about their daily lives as others around them panic due to an impending asteroid collision. The video ends with the group finishing the song's choreography and getting hit by the asteroid, only to survive and brush off the dust. Accolades
