== Composition ==
"Ex's & Oh's" is an uptempo pop rock song that blends elements of alternative rock, blues rock and Southern rock, with a swing beat. The song was written by Katy Rose with the song's producer, Dave Bassett. Its instrumentation includes the banjo, guitar and drums and is influenced by country music. The song's lyrics describe the narrator's past relationships with needy men and her tendency to "[chew] men up and eat them." Rose describes how her ex-boyfriends are like ghosts; they always want to come back to her. She also explains how her feelings toward her boyfriends quickly shift and her carelessness over the relationship.
