Composition
"Roxas" is approximately one minute and eighteen seconds long in the original version, two minutes and twenty-seven seconds long in the HD remake, and two minutes and thirty-six seconds for the piano collections cover.

The music itself gives off a mellow, meloncholy feel. Once it reaches a crescendo, the music becomes louder and livelier, showing hope. Each part represents part of Roxas' life. With the sad part reflecting his days in the Organization, and the second part reflecting his hope for a better future with his friends.
