Writing and recording

"The [color] of whatever was in my brain while making it was dark, but also a flashing yellow. Honestly, the images I have for 'Oxytocin' were just sex. That's it. All different kinds, and styles, and [colors], and locations. That's really what was in my head. Sex."

—Eilish talking about the song to The Guardian.[2]

Listicles

"Oxytocin" has been called the 20th best song by Billie Eilish by

Far Out Magazine's Tyler Golsen, stating it is the "perfect example of Eilish taking catchy elements and making them ever so slightly unsettling."[60] The song also appeared on Los Angeles Times' and Slant Magazine's lists of the best songs of 2021, at number 30, and 7, respectively. The former's review reads "Pulsating with currents of steely [19]90s-industrial and techno sounds, this Happier Than Ever B-side gets its name from the so-called love hormone emitted during sex — which Eilish craves, and fears herself for craving"; whilst the latter says that the track is "masterfully orchestrates dynamic shading and opens up a dark, slick electronic playground that's well-suited to her paper-thin vocals. The verses' incessant clacking ramps up the tension ever so slowly, before Eilish sings the chorus in breathy whispers (...) Its dynamic range and slick production make 'Oxytocin' one of the most inventive songs from Eilish's catalog and her most convincingly menacing."[17][61] Additionally, in the results of a poll held by the American website Pitchfork, depicted "Oxytocin" as the 86th best song of 2021 according to the website's readers.[62]
