Allie X has stated the album is a study of how much of her identity is "pure" versus shaped by "pain and trauma". Multimedia:
And as the engine roars and the dust rises, the radio in the cab crackles to life. A song she’s never heard before spills out—her voice, her words, her war.
Steeped in dark irony, "Simon Says" uses the imagery of the classic children's game to critique societal conformity and the pressure to perform for others. The track features some of the most aggressive, industrial-leaning production on the album, emphasizing the rigid, robotic nature of living under someone else's control. 7. "Old Habits Die Hard"
: An anthem for escapism and substance use as a psychological crutch to "not touch the floor". "Simon Says" allie x collxtion ii

| Track Title | Key Themes & Lyrical Focus | Musical & Production Highlights | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Fragility of romance; love as a damaging, transient force. | Features a strong bass line, catchy whistling hook, and cinematic "campy, art-house" energy. | | Vintage | A timeless, nostalgic romance. | Co-written by Troye Sivan; drenched in squelchy synths and cowbells reminiscent of early Madonna. | | Need You | The emotional aftermath of a breakup; a deceptively sweet-sounding meditation on moving on. | A midtempo synth-pop duet with Valley Girl, featuring a gentle groove and Bon Iveresque vocal effects. | | Casanova | A wicked lover who leaves the protagonist "dying for love". | An electronic dance track; reworked from a stripped-down piano ballad into a "snappy house banger" with a Daft Punk-like vocoder outro. | | Lifted | An anthem about letting go and escapism, of saying "fuck it" to everything. | Features a syncopated, reggae-esque beat that is nearly impossible not to move to. | | Simon Says | Being a puppet to a controlling force; succumbing to a manipulative lover/authority. | "Hypnotic" and catchy, highlighting Allie X's ability to critique through a pop lens. | | Old Habits Die Hard | Slipping back into a familiar, painful pattern; fatalistic subject matter. | A slice of synth-pop splendor that juxtaposes dark themes with crisp beats and stuttering vocals. | | That's So Us | A giddy, cynical love song, celebrating a relationship with a disclaimer: "You make me not wanna die". | Sickeningly sweet bubblegum pop; noted as one of the most direct and hook-driven tracks on the album. | | Downtown | Love framed as "a condition of the head," exploring the irrationality of emotion. | Infectious chorus that compliments the album's cohesive sound with another layer of pop brilliance. | | True Love is Violent | The album's mission statement; a raw, direct exploration of love's inherently violent nature. | Stripped-back, measured ballad with Allie X's most direct and vulnerable vocal delivery. |

While CollXtion I (2015) introduced us to her glossy, heartbreaking sound, it was —released on June 9, 2017—that cemented her reputation as a master of melancholic hooks. This isn't just an album; it’s a concept piece about Los Angeles disillusionment, toxic relationships, and the terrifying vulnerability of fame.
Unlike the romanticized LA of most pop music, CollXtion II ’s LA is strip malls, empty pools, freeway underpasses, and 24-hour diners. It is a city of surface and surveillance, where intimacy is mediated by screens and distance. “Downtown” is not glamorous; it’s lonely.
