Glow Onis also noted for its "cleanly-produced" takes onpop music.A "newly-polished"dream popstyle shows as well, yielding a sound for the album that is cast in "overt hues of pink".[17]

"Don't Play" mixessambaintopunk rockwhile "No Surprise" is "hazy"emo pop.[18]With its drums,cowbellsand layered handclaps, "Dance-Off" journeys into "heavy"funk.[19]
