TouchTones based most of the tracks on his roller-coaster relationships with women prior to the release of the album. Songs recorded such as "Whatever Happened", Chirp Dem Hoes", and "These Hoes" demonstrated how his warm heart quickly turns cold on women who have a tendency to "use mean for their money" and are "scandalous hoes". His wordy delivery of his explicit lyrics regarding these types of women came across as offensive and somewhat sexist, but also appealed to
American men who have been, or currently engaged in situations dealingdisloyalty andadultery. Example
"Yall are just rookies, but I'm a veteran pro. I got news for these dudes who respecting these hoes".
