Their efforts resulted in a concept album consisting of electropop, dance-pop, and hyperpop music, a distinct departure from her earlier projects. Lyrically, the album discusses topics of love and identity. Diamandis created the title character "Electra Heart" to represent female archetypes in popular American culture.
