Arca embraces fluidity and changing between states, whether it be gender, genre, or personality. In a 2020 interview, they say "We all have multiple personalities. Rather than causing panic, I think maybe that could cause some relief". "There was a clear intention on her fourth album, Kick i to allow every self to express itself. Not to decide how much air time each self would get, but to allow for modulation between them in a spontaneous way. There is no such thing as normal". In Mutability and ambivalence guide the sound of her music — the atmospheres they create often contain abrasive percussive blasts, metal-shop whine, the screech of subway brakes, the whine of jet engines overheating. Anthropomorphic and animalistic sounds abound —mewling cats, mooing cows, anguished screams, the grunts and groans of orgasm, commingling pleasure and terror and beauty and ugliness in the most thrilling ways possible.
She has also been credited for her writing/producing efforts on Björk's Vulnicura and the entirety of Utopia. Alongside FKA twigs' EP2 as well as for their collaborations with Dean Blunt, Frank Ocean, Kelela, Kanye West, ROSALÍA and Lady Gaga, among others.

Probando, pro, pro, pro
Probando, ok
Dime si tú quieres reventar
Que yo te lo pondré bien facilito
Dime si tú quieres reventar
Y pegar unos cuantos gritos
Quiero escucharte decir
Dilo "Lo necesito"
Antes de poder, yo, azotarte
Y darte, que te pegues un grito
Bien chiquito
Tú eres bien chiquito
Bien chiquito
Tú eres bien chiquito
Dime si tú quieres reventar
Que yo te lo pondré bien facilito
Dime si tú quieres reventar
Y pegar unos cuantos gritos
The lyrics to Arca's song "Chiquito" convey a sense of sexual liberation and empowerment. The repetitive lines and call-and-response structure create a rhythmic and hypnotic effect, drawing the listener into a provocative and sensual atmosphere.
The opening lines, "Mic, mic, mic, mic, mic check, Probando, pro, pro, pro" serve as an introduction, setting the stage for the forthcoming exploration of desire and pleasure. The singer then asks if the listener wants to "reventar" (explode or burst), offering to make it easy for them. This can be interpreted as a proposition or invitation to fully embrace and indulge in their sexual desires.
The lyrics continue with an emphasis on communication and mutual satisfaction. The phrase "Pegar unos cuantos gritos" (to shout out) suggests the importance of vocal expression, perhaps indicating a desire for open and passionate communication during intimate moments. The repetition of "Quiero escucharte decir" (I want to hear you say) further emphasizes the significance of verbal consent and understanding.
The phrase "Bien chiquito" (very small) is repeated throughout the song, possibly alluding to the idea of embracing and celebrating one's own vulnerability or sense of diminutiveness. It can also be seen as a metaphorical representation of breaking free from societal norms and expectations, asserting one's unique desires and pleasures.
Overall, "Chiquito" is a bold and uninhibited song that delves into themes of sexual liberation, vocal expression, and personal empowerment.

Ser fanático de arca no es solo un pasatiempo, es un estilo de vida, una razón para respirar, un escape del mundo cruel lleno de ladrones. Es arte, el primer regalo que
abres en navidad, un abrazo de un ser querido, todo lo que siempre has querido, todo lo que necesitar. Gracias Alejandra Ghersi, por los kicks y tu música, tu poder y grandeza a mis oídos.
