Burial is the dubstep producer William Bevan. Indicative of his move to more experimental, extended tracks (or suites), "Come Down to Us" features multiple distinct sections over the course of 13 minutes. Though similar in mood and composition, the two halves of the track use very few (if any) of the same samples or motifs. The track (and thus the EP) is concluded with a short self-acceptance speech that serves as a coda.
The track samples at least two video game soundtracks: Fable and EVE Online. It also contains dialogue from the films The Tree of Life and Flatliners, an interview with NASA scientist Melissa Dawson, and a speech by Lana Wachowski at the 2012 Human Rights Campaign.
The main vocal hook in the first section is created by pitch-shifting sections of Michael Jackson's vocals from his song "You Are Not Alone."
