The band produced Why Love Now with no wave artist Lydia Lunch, who strictly controlled how the group worked on the record, and metal musician Arthur Rizk, who handled the technical aspects.

Two people handled the production of Why Love Now: metal musician Arthur Rizk was responsible for the technical aspects, and No wave singer Lydia Lunch controlled the behavior of the band as well as contributed to the feminine undertones of the album's themes.

[7] Rytlewski also analyzed the lyrics occasionally goes into "Korvette’s usual digressions" such as "sugary snacks, laugh-tracked sitcoms, astrology, and the like" in order to "balance" the album's tone.

[7] The LP also features the same type of workplace commentary as on the band's previous album Honeys (2013), such as on the song "Have You Ever Been Furniture?," which lambasts "menial, underappreciated jobs," PopMatters stated.

"[6] "Cold Whip Cream" is about "the pressures of being straight," a commentary on the fears of men that come with their sexual attraction: "Nervous and excited with all these thoughts / Lying awake in bed / Ever since a teen wondering when you’d finally catch a smell / But what if you go to hell?

"[6] "The Bar Is Low" criticizes systems that honor all males for doing everything, even the smallest of things: "You haven’t climbed a mountain / Barely walked up a hill / But that’s good as gold / ’Cause you’ve never killed / Held down a job / Even snagged a raise / Right there you’re due for / Effusive praise.

"[19] The Line of Best Fit stated that it was a "tour de force of high octane refrains and filth-driven focus," "lay[s] waste to rationalisation and set[s] standards straight.
