The Hankyoreh wrote that "she recites verses in a relaxed tone similar to that of "singing rap". She also pronounces words unclearly and goes offbeat, which gives the impression that she is drunk or sleepy."[11] Lyrically, Bandwagon praised her "straightforward and vivid storytelling."[12] Sogumm describes her music as "deficiency" because she expresses the feelings from the deficiency of life and implies her belief of trying to grow through deficiency in her music.[13] In terms of genre, she describes it as alternative pop.[3] She was influenced by female R&B singers such as Beyoncé and Alicia Keys.
