Grohl likened the album's sound to David Bowie's Let's Dance album, with him explaining that it's "not like a EDM, disco, or modern dance record" but rather "this really up, fun record" that is "filled with anthemic, huge, sing-along rock songs." Hawkins described the album as being more "pop-oriented" than prior releases, different from their usual post-grunge sound. He also noted the use of a drum loop on the album, another atypical trait for the band. One song on the album contains a guitar riff that Grohl wrote 25 years ago in Seattle, but was never able to find a song to use it in until now. Grohl stated:
"Some of those songs, the best ones happen in 45 minutes. Then there's other songs — there's a riff on the new record I’ve been working on for 25 years. The first time I demoed it was in my basement in Seattle."
Grohl states the album was inspired by "Our love of rock bands that make these upbeat, up-tempo, almost danceable records."
