"How can I be so self-aware and yet so blind and so stupid at the same time? Women are the smartest and the dumbest, in my experience. It's like they are dumb exactly when they want to be. I think that that's kind of a theme that I tackle throughout the whole album, just because it's a little bit more about the reflection of my own choices and these relationships and how I get into them and how I get out of them."
"I think even with my last record, it was sort of like there was a little bit more spite towards people. That hurt my feelings. And I think this one was a little bit more like, you know what? Can't be that mad because I am putting myself in these positions to kind of experience these things. So yeah, I think it's just like 2% healed, which gives me a lot more room to grow."
Man's Best Friend has the feel of women gossiping about dating and toxic relationships. The album was released a year after the Grammy-winning Short n' Sweet. The songs use double entendres and innuendo, exemplified by the lyric: "Do you want the house tour? I could take you to the first, second, third floor. And I promise none of this is a metaphor." The album is intended to be listened to in order, with a narrative that begins during a relationship and ends after its dissolution. Thematically, the album balances self-awareness, reflection on personal choices, and modest healing.
