Stereotype (R)
Electropop with heavy synthwave and dance-pop influences. A processed female vocal leads with rhythmic, staccato delivery. The arrangement features a prominent sawtooth synth bass playing syncopated eighth-note patterns and a four-on-the-floor kick drum with a crisp, gated snare. Bright, polyphonic synth pads provide harmonic texture while a high-pitched, arpeggiated lead synth riff repeats throughout the choruses. Occasional vocal chops and stutter effects are applied to the lead vocal. The track is in the key of G minor at 124 BPM in 4/4 time.

Lyrics
[staccato synth bass, electronic percussion]
It's tricky to break the stereotype-type-type-type
[Verse 1]
[female vocals, driving kick drum]
They say I'm quiet, they say I'm loud
I'm too much or not enough
They twist the dial, tune me out
Like they're the ones who built me up
It's tricky, so tricky
But I'm not a preset, I'm not a station
I'm bursting beyond all expectation
[Chorus]
[full synth arrangement, bright lead synth enters]
I'm a stereotype, not a stereotype
So many sides of me you never get right
Left channel dreaming, right channel wild
Turn me up loud, get the profile
I'm a stereotype, playing life
Don't define me with black and white lines
I'm more than the boxes you try to write
I'm a stereotype
[Verse 2]
[bass and drums continue]
Skim the cover, miss the song
Judge the beat before it's on
But I'll remix and mash every flaw
Breaking every rule and follow
It's tricky, yeah, it's tricky
Fade the noise, mix in the truth
I'm not the version you assume
If you want to know more, press play
It'll sound nothing like what you say
[Bridge]
[vocal stutter effect]
Just drop the bass and stereo
[Chorus]
[high-energy synth lead]
I'm a stereotype, not a stereotype
So many sides of me you never get right
Left channel dreaming, right channel wild
Turn me up loud, get the profile
I'm a stereotype, playing life
Don't define me with black and white lines
I'm more than the boxes you try to write
I'm a stereotype
[Outro]
[synth bass fades]
Just drop the bass
Stereo
