Boastful Rap: In "Can I", Kehlani raps about being skilled in the bedroom and tells their lover to leave his girlfriend for them. On their verse on the remix of "Icy Grl" by Saweetie, they rap about their wealth, not being bothered by their haters, the fact they could steal anyone's romantic partner as well as the fact they're not even known for rapping.

Nightmare Fuel: invoked As beautiful as the cover photo for their album It Was Good Until It Wasn't, the back-drop photo of what's behind Kehlani that makes it unsettling. Some fans have even mistaken the collapsing building for 9/11 though Kehlani was quick to point out that it wasn't 9/11 happening behind them, just a random collapsing building.
