The music for "Besitos" shows off the band's Latin influence, and the lyrics describe Fuentes' relationship with a girl, from her point of view, who he "couldn't stop hurting over and over again." "The Boy Who Could Fly" was originally 6 minutes in length, but the intro was split off as a separate track, "Southern Constellations", because of its length. "Southern Constellations" is about Fuentes' fascination with southern girls. Fuentes called the guitar tone as "one of my favorite tones" from the album, which was made using a Stratocaster through a custom-made amplifier making the "glassy and unique sound we were looking for". "The Boy Who Could Fly" showed off the band's punk roots that has a hastily played guitar "represent everything that we loved playing as kids." The lyrics are about a relationship reliant on the other person with "obsession and desperation, and the stupid things you do when you're in love." The track was "craziest, most intense song" that Fuentes has written. The majority of the songs featured on Selfish Machines were written between Fuentes and exA Day to Remember guitarist, Tom Denney the pair also worked on the music for "The Boy Who Could Fly", "Disasterology" and "The Sky Under the Sea".
