Lyrical topics are formed from podcasts, news outlets or current affairs these are all catalysts for musical themes about wealth disparity, social media, political constructs and self-development. The lead singer Kat writes songs that come with a message, she believes that music is a platform for change, either internally or externally, writing about how the world effects you and you effect it.
