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.

Déjame, por favor, sentir su tamaño, su fuerza
Protégeme del mal ajeno
Si tú eres fuerte, yo podré ser débil
Y aún sobrevivir
Por favor, dime que quieres protegerme
The lyrics to Arca's song "Músculos" reflect a vulnerable plea for physical and emotional protection. The opening line, "Por favor, déjame tocarte tus músculos" (Please, let me touch your muscles), conveys a desire for physical closeness and intimacy, perhaps seeking comfort and safety in someone's strength. This request is followed by a plea to feel their size and strength, illustrating a longing for reassurance and protection.
The lyrics also highlight the need for protection from external threats: "Protégeme del mal ajeno" (Protect me from external harm). Here, the singer is asking to be shielded from the negativity and dangers that may surround them. The subsequent line, "Si tú eres fuerte, yo podré ser débil" (If you are strong, I can be weak), conveys a sense of dependency, acknowledging that the singer's vulnerability can exist if they are supported by someone stronger. However, it also suggests that, despite their fragility, they can still survive.
The closing line, "Por favor, dime que quieres protegerme" (Please, tell me that you want to protect me), reveals a longing for affirmation and validation. It expresses a desire to be cared for and shielded from harm, emphasizing the importance of feeling safe in the presence of another person.
