The answer is: yes, kind of. An interview with Spotify's "Data Alchemist" Glenn McDonald reveals that he takes a pretty radical approach to genre. Rather than just running with whatever genre the record label or artist has labeled themselves as, he's developed an algorithm which evaluates music based on "subjective psychoacoustic attributes" — basically, what a song sounds like. The genres which are ultimately attached to an artist are swayed by a vast number of oblique factors: stuff like "tempo" and "duration," but also "color," "modernity" and "femininity." The algorithm then ranks the artist's similarity to every genre Spotify has on their system. You can play around with the Spotify's ranking system at McDonald's website, Every Noise at Once. Megan Thee Stallion, for example, comes out as most similar to "Pop Rap," "Pop" and "Houston Rap," but as least similar to "Ukranian Choir" and "Wind Ensemble." Sounds about right.
To the Spotify algorithm, the genre an artist falls into is just a "cluster of collective listening patterns," rather than anything you'd find on a sign at a record store. And if McDonald finds a cluster of sonically similar artists with no clear genre attached? He just makes one up. McDonald calls these "emerging genres," and keeps a close eye on them, in case they develop into "a thing." That's how so many users have ended up with "Escape Room" on their top genres list. Escape Room was a name devised by McDonald, to label a cluster of artists who feel "connected to trap sonically," but are more related to "experimental-indie-r&b-pop" than they are to traditional trap: examples of Escape Room artists include Charli XCX, Kaytranada and Ashnikko. Escape Room is partially a silly play on "trap," but also reflects something about the quality of the music to McDonald: "it just sort of felt like it was solving and creating puzzles."

Blame It on Your Love
Charli XCX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I blame it on you, I blame it on you
Yee!
I just wanna drink you up
Pour you in a silver cup
You know I like to party
But you know I love your body
So many things I shouldn't do
I hate myself for hurting you
Honestly, I'm reckless
I'm sorry if I'm selfish
Every time you get too close I run, I run away
And every time you say the words I don't know what to say
Back, back to the beginning
Really wish that I could change
I do, I do, I do
I blame it on your love
Every time I fuck it up
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I can't help it, I can't stop
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I blame it on your love
Sorry I'm a little scared
But no one ever really cared (ah)
I took you for granted (yeah, I did)
Just a big misunderstanding
I just want to spend the night (one night)
Sleeping in your bed tonight, yeah
Watch a little TV
I love it when you need me
Every time you get too close I run, I run away
And every time you say the words I don't know what to say
Back, back to the beginning
Really wish that I could change
I do, I do, I do
I blame it on your love (yeah, yeah)
Every time I fuck it up (fuck it up, man)
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I can't help it, I can't stop
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I blame it on your love (y'all ready?)
I don't know what's wrong with this girl, Charli, she crazy
Gotta blame it on the, blame it on the, blame it on the juice
Looking at my booty like you don't know what to do
Baby, I know that you can't control it
But my body like a swisher, just roll it
I'ma give you one chance to fall in love
Give you one chance, don't fuck this up
Ah ah oh (uh-oh, uh-oh)
I'm tryna catch millions, I ain't tryna catch feelings (bitch!)
I blame it on your love (yeah, yeah)
Every time I fuck it up (fuck it up, man)
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I can't help it, I can't stop
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
Every time I fuck it up
I blame it on your love, I do
I blame it on your love
I can't help it, I can't stop
I blame it on your love, I do (hahahaha, ok, that's it)
The song is a confession of love and apology all mixed in one. Charli XCX blames herself for her reckless behavior and hurting the person she loves. She explains that she wants to drink him up and loves his body, but at the same time, she hates herself for hurting him. Every time the person gets too close, she runs away because she is scared of getting hurt. Despite all of this, she still wants to spend the night with him and loves it when he needs her. The song ends with her blaming her love for every time she messes up but still wanting that love and chance to fall in love.
