The South was a place he often mentioned; sports had a similar presence in his lyrics. Certain words and phrases recur in his work. Politics in his songs only manifested in the form of tracks like "We Are Real" and his occasional contempt for "rich people", which started when he was a child. "Maybe I'm the Only One for Me" was intended as to be from an incel's perspective and was, in his eyes, the "ultimate neo-liberal love song, as we sit in a place of peak individualism".
