It was written by Minaj, along with Nadir Khayat, Jimmy Thornfeldt and Geraldo Sandell, while production was handled by Khayat and Jimmy Joker. A Europop influenced song, "Automatic" features strong elements of dance and electronic music with instrumentation of synthesizers.
On October 18, 2012, it impacted French contemporary hit radio as the fifth single from the album, charting at number 102 on France's SNEP charts.
