FM Static is less concerned with expressing faith than empathizing with their core audience of teens. The album primarily deals with themes of romantic longing, fun with friends, hurtful relationships, and high school graduation. Ultra-catchy cuts such as "Three Days Later," "Definitely Maybe," and "Donna" (with an infectious chorus of "doo-doo's" akin to Third Eye Blind's "Semi-Charmed Kind of Life") are peppered with pop-culture references, quirky rhymes, and instantly likable melodies. "My First Stereo" stands out as an enjoyable tribute to the gift of music and the comfort it brings: "Somethin' tells me I'll never be close to another like you/Helped me through all the things that we all go through." | FM Static is less concerned with expressing faith than empathizing with their core audience of teens.
