!!Tropes associated with her work:
* AllTakeAndNoGive: "Flatline" describes a relationship in which the narrator "bend[s] over backwards" for her partner, who would "never think twice" to do the same for her.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Prior to officially coming out as bisexual in 2021, she released the song "oh GOD" as part of ''Freckle Season'', in which the narrator has "Catholic guilt" over a SecretRelationship.
* DeadSparks:
** "Inevitable" is about a relationship that has grown stale and superficial, but is "so tangled up, it's hard to know how we might function on our own".
** In "Figure It Out", the narrator has not worked up the courage to officially end a relationship she is fatigued by, secretly wishing her partner would just read her mind and get the hint.
* HeroWorshipper: In "More Like You", the narrator obsessively admires someone to the point of wishing to ''be'' this person.
* LoveNostalgiaSong: "Heavy":
--> Do you think about me at night
--> When the sky is losing light?
--> I swear my head fills up with memories
* MoralityBallad: ''Woman on the Internet'' opener "Things That I've Learned" is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin as the song gives advice, [[MyFutureSelfAndMe presumably to her younger self]], based on life lessons she has acquired over the years.
* OneWomanSong: "Madison", about someone the narrator relied on, "[poured] my heart out to", and yearns for.
* ShrinkingViolet: "Why Am I Like This" details what it's like to have social anxiety, between overthinking conversations, assuming people secretly dislike you, and freezing in social situations.
* StepfordSmiler: In "Inevitable", which is about a DeadSparks relationship:
--> And I think it over every night
--> Then face the day and wear a smile
--> Oh shit, we're living a lie
* YouAreNotAlone: "You're Not Special, Babe" is about how it's easy to feel like your pain and bad experiences are unique, but to remember that everyone goes through these things.
--> I know you feel like your life is one big mistake, I am right there on your side
--> ...We all we go from heartbreak to happy to heartbreak, some things just don't change
--> Everyone cries, everyone lies
--> ...Everyone's so scared of the future, it's true
--> Everyone fucks up and then breaks up and then makes up
--> Everyone has days where they don't wanna wake up
--> Everyone loves, everyone loses
