Benassi stated that the inspiration for “Satisfaction” came from his personal experiences as a DJ and the desire to create a track that would connect with people on a deeper level. He aimed to capture the feeling that occurs on the dance floor when the music takes control and unites a crowd as one. Benassi explained that the identifying melody of the song was brought to him by his cousin Alle Benassi: "When my cousin came to the studio after his tour in Tunisia, he played me a bunch of notes." Alle told DJ Mag: "When I was in Tunisia I was playing the clarinet in my room and there was a traffic jam under the street. And it fixed a bunch of notes into my brain". Following the composition of the instrumental they needed a vocal part, but according to Benassi "getting a vocalist" in Italy wasn't easy, so he "tried with this vocoder".[4] Additionally, the song draws influence from electronic and techno music that was popular during the early 2000s. The track is in the key of B major and plays at 130 beats per minute.
