She Wants Revenge's music is hard to emcompass into a single genre or sound. It draws inspiration from several alternative rock and new wave artists. The band blends their influences with ever-present electronics (eg. synths and drum machines) in a style most accurately labeled under the umbrella term, "darkwave", a style of music reminiscent of the New Wave and Gothic Rock sounds of the 1980s.
She Wants Revenge have stated that they make "dance music" on numerous occasions setting them aside from the contemporary rock bands often falsely linked with the band in the music press.
History

On August 5th, 2020, Adam and Justin posted onto the official Instagram account of the band to announce their disbandment.

She Wants Revenge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Long, dark hair, never saw her cry
In two halves I was torn
My maybe love who wouldn't even try
She loves me, she loves me not (2x)
I saw you only yesterday
Perhaps one day? never mind
All the nights we shared, were we just killing time?
She loves me, she loves me not (2x)
For all the things I said to her and all the ways I tried
And all the things I did for her, they're lost with one goodbye
She loves me, she love me not
She loves me, she loves me not (2x)
For all the things I said to her and all the ways I tried
And all the things I did for her were lost with one goodbye
She loves me, she love me not
She loves me, she loves me not
The lyrics to She Wants Revenge's song "She Loves Me She Loves Me Not" speak of a tumultuous relationship where the singer is uncertain of where they stand with their partner. The first verse sets the tone of inner conflict, with the singer wondering if their feelings were reciprocated by their partner. The imagery of their partner's long dark hair denotes a sense of mystery and distance. The singer feels torn in two and refers to their partner as a "maybe love." The swelling chorus of "she loves me, she loves me not" is a reference to the childhood game of picking flower petals to determine if someone loves you or not.
The second verse takes a nostalgic turn, with the singer remembering a chance meeting with their partner and wondering if it was a missed opportunity. The line "All the nights we shared, were we just killing time?" highlights the sense of regret and loss.
