"Six Feet Under" was first originally released through Eilish's SoundCloud on June 23, 2016, as her second single. It was later released as a standalone single for digital download and streaming by Darkroom and Interscope Records on November 17, 2016. The track was written and produced by Eilish's brother, Finneas O'Connell. Mastering and mixing was handled by the studio personnel, John Greenham, and Rob Kinelski, respectively.
According to sheet music published by Hal Leonard Music Publishing on Musicnotes.com, "Six Feet Under" has a moderate tempo of 68 beats per minute. The song is played in the key of B minor, while Eilish's vocals span a range of A3 to D5. Press reviews described the song as an atmospheric pop ballad. Mike Wass of Idolator compared the instrumentation to the later work of Lana Del Rey, Låpsley and Birdy. An EP featuring remixes by Blu J, Gazzo, Jerry Folk and Aire Atlantica was released in January 2017. Dan Regan of Billboard favored Jerry Folk's remix over the others, saying it "punches you right in the face with its wall of vocal harmonies", and further says "silence weighs heavy throughout, adding weight to every note as it drips from the speaker into your brain". Lyrically, "Six Feet Under" is described as "somber" and "delicate" like "Ocean Eyes".
