According to the press release, in the group's early years, member Jae Matthews had the word "careful" tattooed across her back before what the duo thought would be their final show. The album is said to be inspired by the dualities of love—"fear and joy, tenderness and pain"—as well as "the enveloping trauma of loss combined with the fantasy of escape." The lyrics on Careful are intensely personal, referencing family death, mental illness and abandonment, as well as the urge to take flight, and the music heavily references classic EBM and synth pop.
