The song has a great pop sound, that is perfect for top 40, and contemporary and pop/rock radio and will appeal to young adults, teens, and tweens. She is not afraid of experimentation and mixing sounds and genres to create a sound all her own.
Strongest Point(s): Harris's unique tone and vibrato in her voice give her a pop-punk sound that has a raspy element to it and is reminiscent of singers like Debbie Harry and Ashlee Simpson. There is playfulness and a flirtatious manner to her voice, which fits within the context of the song. The instrumental performance is also on point, from the beginning of the song it's evident with a great hook and riff giving it a 60's rock sound. The combination of guitar, bass, and drums combine to create a high-energy melody in both rhythm and tempo.
