Leave Me Alone's dancehall-inflected riddim is pure West African vibes, replete with lush and overarching guitar licks that draw abundantly from the highlife and Afrobeat tradition. Lyrically, Leave me Alone is about learning how to protect one's peace irrespective of underlying circumstances. "Talking, Talking, Talk, but talk is cheap- me nuh need favor from no one but God, plus I’ve got me." Amaarae sings, her voice a re-assuring fix that sashays gently atop the Stalag riddim-sounding drum bop.

In comparison to "Leave Me Alone", Amaarae's second offering, "Fancy"   races to the other end of the spectrum; accentuated drum patterns that swing hard with a trap twist reveal the other side to Amaarae: A boundless love for Southern bounce. Fancy hangs on a loose string; it meanders between sing-songy rap, shoegazing emo, and straight ahead trap – if these three forms hung out at a high-end fashion joint uptown they'd be the gnarliest kids in the building. Fancy is a certified banger -It's rich and flavorful style, a testament to Amaarae's outstanding abilities as a songwriter.
