In a statement about the project, Mayberry called out "the dark, physical, and subversive sides of femininity" as key influences over Vicious Creature as a whole, citing musicals like Cabaret and Chicago. This emphasis on female identity and expression is a vital aspect, resonating through her new music as she explores themes rarely addressed in pop.
In discussing "Crocodile Tears," Mayberry noted that this song gave her the opportunity to adopt a character, explaining that it allowed her to depart from being 'nice,' which she believes often holds women back. This artistic freedom highlights the emotional depth and complexity she is aiming to convey in her solo work.
