- Fridge Brilliance: "An Open Letter"'s alteration of the original cut rap's line "Bitch, please!" to "Trick, please!" may seem like simple bowdlerization on the surface. However, an equally legitimate reading of the latter line, requiring only a change in emphasis, would be "...intrigue, (implied: or some [kind of] trick? Please!" Such double-meaning trickery is par for the course from a lyricist influenced by William Shakespeare, Stephen Sondheim and various hip-hop poets, all of whom use note said technique.
- Harsher in Hindsight: "Wrote My Way Out" references how "abuela" from In the Heights never wins the lottery because she dies. After the song was released, one of Lin's grandmothers died, and the music video is dedicated to her.
- Sweet Dreams Fuel: Regina Spektor's cover of "Dear Theodosia," just like the original. The sweet, adoring lyrics combined with Spektor's angelic voice make it into an absolutely adorable lullaby.
