- Alternate Character Interpretation: Pretty much all of the band's singles make it sound like Kimberly is suffering from varying degrees of insanity. In "If I Die Young", she is obsessed with death. In "Postcard From Paris" she sounds like a Stalker with a Crush on a guy she just met even though she has a boyfriend who is perfectly nice. "All Your Life" gives a similar vibe with the final lines of the song. "You Better Dig Two" sounds like she plans on killing him and then herself if he breaks up with her. "You Lie" has her obsessed with similes.
- Franchise Original Sin: Their beloved early work was often still defined by the mix of songs that follow a more traditional modern country sound and ones that have the Southern Gothic themes that gave them their critical acclaim. You just need to compare their debut single, "Hip to My Heart", to their breakthrough hit, "If I Die Young", to see that contrast in action. The massive genre change of "Live Forever", the controversy over pop vs. country, and their subsequent struggles to stick with a sound that appealed to their fans isn't a huge swerve from what the band was doing during their peak.
- Sequel Displacement: "If I Die Young" was their second single.
- Tear Jerker: "If I Die Young". The title alone should tell you what kinda song you're in for.
