The song is described as a fast-paced pop track with a strong rhythm and electronic influences. The music video for "Animal" features actress Demi Moore, who makes an appearance towards the end, transitioning between an office setting and a performance space. The visual narrative of the video aims to depict the tension between self-control and instinctual impulses, a theme reinforced by the song's choreography, which includes claw-like movements.

Ed Sheeran contributed to the songwriting of "Animal" alongside members of Snow Patrol and songwriters Blake Slatkin and Omer Fedi. The music video was directed by Cody Critcheloe, known for his previous work with KATSEYE on "Touch" and "Gnarly," as well as the collaboration "Iconic By Mistake" with Le Sserafim and Illit.
