The song features Jackson's powerful, emotive vocals over a classic soul arrangement, complete with a smooth rhythm section, lush strings, and subtle horn accents. The lyrics express a woman's devotion to her partner, offering to fulfill any desire they might have.
"Ask Me What You Want" showcases Jackson's ability to convey deep emotion and vulnerability in her performances, a trait that would become her signature throughout her career. The song's production, typical of early 1970s soul, provides a perfect backdrop for Jackson's expressive voice.
