Vivian Medithi of
The Fader described the album as a "mix of
bloghouse,
trance, and
hardstyle" that "recombines DNA from
Skrillex and
Flume’s big-tent
EDM with the flubbery pop of
PC Music and
Porter Robinson." Wilson described the album's sound as "Girl EDM," which had become the title of her last EP. The name was inspired by her performance at a Los Angeles EDM festival, when her, MGNA Crrrta,
Izzy Camina, and DJ Dave, all women, were the show’s main headliners. Ninajirachi also called the album "Australian dance music", influenced by her experiences growing up in rural Australia and by other dance artists from the country, like
Empire of the Sun and
the Presets. Wilson, however, was not involved in the Australian music scene during her early life, and said she was more a part of online music communities than local ones. Lyrically, the album centers Wilson's experiences as child listening to songs on her
iPod touch, and her intimate relationship with technology and music as an adolescent and adult. Wilson also created a
headcanon around technology during the album’s creation, characterizing
5G towers as "
places of worship" for computers, among other things.
Songs "Fuck My Computer," the album’s second single, was inspired by Wilson’s love of making music, as well as the frustration she felt when not able to transcribe a song idea she had in her head onto her music software fast enough. The song "CSIRAC" was written about the
computer of the same name, Australia's first digital computer, which created electronic music on its own. "All I Am" was the first song on the album which Wilson made specifically for
I Love My Computer. == Artwork ==
