* WartsAndAll: Rather than having a puff piece that paints her as a perfect princess, Star and Ruberiot arrange a song that honestly tells who Star really is with both her virtues and failings. RealityEnsues, however, as the lyrics revealing that Star lost the royal spellbook and that Moon and River kept it a secret from both the Mewni public and the Magic Commission to keep the peace and prevent royal shame causes a riot and the Commission chews Moon out for it.

* HardTruthAesop: Sometimes, the real you is not what people want to get to know, especially if the real you has made massive mistakes that put a lot of people in danger. As Star is meant to be Mewni's future queen, they want to believe she's someone they can rely on, with Ruberiot's song proving she's not.

* {{Foil}}: This episode reveals that Ludo and Star were both raised in a castle by a royal family that was tough on them, but while Ludo was a [[MassiveNumberedSiblings massively outnumbered sibling]] with AbusiveParents who wanted to [[ToughLove "toughen him up"]] since he was the runt, Star is an [[OnlyChildSyndrome only child]] whose mother is hard on her to prepare her for her future as queen. Said upbringings also drove them to rebel: Ludo by changing the castle locks while his family was on vacation to seize power for himself, Star to act out as the "rebel princess." But while Ludo's family are indeed selfish, image-obsessed, and don't care for him, Star's parents genuinely love her and are proud of her even when she goes off-script.

* AgeAppropriateAngst: 14-year-old Star is just as mortified by Ruberiot exposing her crush on her best friend as her parents are that he exposed delicate secrets regarding affairs of state.
* AwfulTruth: Queen Moon gently explains to Star at the end that the people don't want to know their future ruler is flawed or can make mistakes, and that sometimes the truth is more dangerous than a comforting lie.

** Star wanted a song that was more honest about who she is, but at what point did she think that mentioning that she lost Glossaryck and the Book of Spells to Ludo, and how the royal Butterfly family wanted to keep the search for him a secret was a good idea?

* DomesticAbuser: Lady Avarius has a seeming black eye she can't open, which given how irritable and angry her husband can get it isn't hard to figure out the implication. However, she ''can'' open it (so it seems more of a lazy-eye), which among other hints makes it a ''bit'' more ambiguous while still hinting this trope.
