Production and composition

Band keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij made a 30-second loop on his computer, and Ezra Koenig kept listening to it at his home until he came up with the melody for it.[2]

While Koenig considered Contra to be "something of a Californian album", "White Sky" deals with someone exploring New York and its residents.[2]
