==Music== "Injected with a Poison" is an example of Belgian techno and runs at the speed of 149bpm, which is fast when compared to other songs in the genre.<ref name="Stevens">{{cite web|last1=Stevens|first1=Kat|title=Blog '92: ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?|url=http://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2008/12/blog-92-are-you-listening-to-me/|website=Freaky Trigger|accessdate=24 November 2017|date=12 December 2008}}</ref> It is a remix of an earlier version of the song, which was released on the debut Praga Khan featuring Jade 4U single "Free Your Body/Injected with a Poison", incorporating elements of "Free Your Body" (in particular, Jade 4U's vocals).
Kat Stevens of ''Freaky Trigger'' writes that the "intense" song is "spontaneous" and "full of variety" with "at least eight things going on at any time," noting its incorporation of acid [(acid techno)] squelching, Jade 4U's "whooping" vocals, the disturbing song name vocal samples, piano breaks, as well as what she described as "an underwater electric whisk" and "one of those duck-calling kazoo things."<ref name="Stevens" /> In only four bars, each of the track's constituent parts build ups to a crescendo, before "switching over to something completely different," while the track also sporadically grounds itself with "a quick 4/4 ‘barp-barp-barp-barp’" in order for it "to get its breath back."<ref name="Stevens" />
The vocals "Injected with a Poison" were sampled from the American televangelist Robert Schambach.<ref name="Dog">{{cite web|title=Injected With A Poison's strange, ecumenical origins…|url=https://909originals.com/2018/03/05/injected-with-a-poisons-strange-ecumenical-origins/ |website=909 Originals}}</ref>
