Give Me Your Future is considered a departure from the ska and psychobilly stylings of the band's previous album Attack of the Mutant 50ft Kebab, with minimalist lyrics inspired by retrofuturism and the 1927 film Metropolis. It is sonically influenced by new wave/synth pop artists such as Devo and Fad Gadget, along with nods to contemporary electronic movements such as synthwave and glitch pop. Frontman and lead songwriter Tommy Scott noted that the group set out to make a record that was "classier" than their previous output.
