Tropes in the album include:
- Break Up Song: "iPad", "Solo Mission", "I Love U".
- The Cameo: Rapper and DJ Fatman Scoop provides additional vocals on "Maradona".
- Non-Appearing Title: "The Fall"
- Not Named in Opening Credits: While given a feature credit on neither song, singer Chloe George performs the outro of "In Too Deep" and the lead vocals on "Time Bomb".
- Record Producer: In addition to the Chainsmokers themselves, most of the album was helmed by veteran pop producer Ian Kirkpatrick and EDM/hyperpop producer Whethan.
- Sampling:
- "I Love U" opens with a voice sample from Clarisse in Granblue Fantasy.
- "Testing" samples vocals from "Front A Busta" by rapper Koopsta Knicca and its outro interpolates "Pure Imagination" from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
- Step Up to the Microphone: While Drew Taggart had been singing on tracks since "Closer" in 2016, this is the first album where he sings the majority of the vocals, with the only songs where he doesn't sing lead vocals ("Time Bomb" and "Why Can't You Wait") relegated to the deluxe edition.
- Surprisingly Gentle Song: "In Too Deep" compared to the rest of the album. Subverted in its trippy outro, though.
- Title Drop: "So far so good" is the opening line of "High".
