Accompanying herself on the piano despite not having played the instrument since she was required to at school, and recruiting a backing combo including double bassist Clas Lassbo, drummer Gustav Nahlin (who also helped out with production) and a three-piece horn section, Carlsson penned a slew of songs drawing on pop, jazz, polka, country, and rhythm & blues but essentially rooted in a theatrical cabaret/music hall pop style, with lyrics focused primarily on romantic and sexual escapades and a campily glorified hedonistic lifestyle.
