They are renowned as pioneers and frontrunners in jungle and drum and bass, and the group obtained a Mercury Music Prize nomination for their 1998 album Two Pages. Their style was initially uptempo breakbeat house and techno, and has progressed to hardcore, jungle, and drum 'n' bass. Comparisons have been drawn between them and East London band Shut Up and Dance, with both bands evolving in the early 1990s as a rapprochement between the breakbeat-driven African-diasporic musical structures of hip-hop and reggae, and the dark, European reconstruction of the techno sound popularised by the likes of Joey Beltram, CJ Bolland, and Mundo Muzique. 4hero both embraced the dynamics of populist rave culture, and maintained an avant-garde status as innovative and experimental producers. They trail blazed genre-crossing studio techniques like timestretching and pitch-shifting.

The song "Take My Time" by 4hero featuring Jack Davey is about trying to figure out how to approach a new romantic relationship carefully. The singer acknowledges that they can't always get the type of person they desire but they are willing to make changes to make things work. They also express uncertainty about their feelings, saying they don't give a damn about one man but now they're dealing with something new. The singer understands that they have something good with the other person but wants to take their time to make sure it's the right decision for both of them.

The uncertainty about their own feelings is highlighted with the line "I'm racking my brain trying to figure out why I'm trying to get all brand new." Ultimately, the singer decides that they just might want to take their time with this person and ask for reassurance that it's okay.
