According to vocalist Liz Selfish, the new material took influence from country songs focusing on women’s revenge. She continued:

“There’s not a lot of those tropes in death metal, which I think primarily is because there’s not a lot of women in that space. I thought that was a really cool perspective and I really liked the storytelling aspect of it.”

She also talked about writing lyrics:

“It’s quite new territory for me, and it wasn’t necessarily an intentional thing initially. I wrote the first song for the album, and I just loved writing, and I was like, ‘I really love doing this, and I want to do more’, so I ended up writing the whole album. Brenner [Moate]’s main focus is writing music – he wants to write riffs – so he wasn’t too torn up about not writing the lyrics. It was a nice passing of the torch.”

She also added:

“We’re evolving the bimboviolence and the campiness by making it all a little bit darker with this album, and a bit more overtly violent. I think that will probably reflect in our stage show and our imagery as well, keeping it fun, not a total 180, but definitely progressing into something darker with it.”
