"We were five tropes from eternity"...
- Break Up Song: "We're Not Making Love No More" is about this subject, as is "5 Steps".
- Emasculated Cuckold: "In My Bed" is about a man's partner is cheating on him with another man, but unfortunately, he doesn't have proof. Sisqó revealed he did not want to initially sing the song because he didn't want to sing about being cheated on. The music video somewhat tempers as it turns out he was being cheated on with a woman.
- Head-Turning Beauty: The appropriately named "Beauty" is about this; the girl's beauty is breathtaking and the singer is working up the courage to talk to her.
- Revolving Door Band: Downplayed; some members have left and come back, the group has been on hiatus at times, there have been replacement members, etc. As of today, original member Woody has truly left the band. The original three are still in the group and they added four members since Woody's departure.
- Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Sisqó is the lead singer of the group, the flashiest, and easily the most recognizable member.
- Intercourse with You: Like any proper R&B group, "Tell Me" being the most well-known.
