Romance/Relationships
Dodie songs cover several themes one of the most prominent themes being romance. Many of the songs that Dodie has released take a closer look into this theme of romance. Her most popular album being You which heavily leans into this theme of romance. She sings about falling in love and having people fall in love such as in her song Would You Be So Kind although she did state in the official YouTube video that the song no longer held the same meaning that it used to. Other songs that fit into her themes of romance would be Intertwined, Absolutely Smitten, You, and Boys Like You. These songs often are about people who she has fallen in love and specifically the toxic parts of the relationships an example of this would be in the song You where the lyrics states

“Oh, I have a habit of searching for the damage / To share my love”

Bisexuality
In many of Dodies romance songs she explores the theme of bisexuality. Such as in her song She, where Dodies writes about the experience of being attracted to a girl rather than a man. She explores the feelings and questions in the song whether it's wrong or not to be attracted to another female such as in the lyrics

“Am I allowed to look at her like that / Could it be wrong when she's just so nice to look at”

In Dodies song Rainbow she specifically sings about the struggles that individuals who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community face, including herself. This song specifically for Dodie is her redefining her bisexuality compared to her the time when she came out in 2017 with her video I'm bisexual - a coming out song. As stated in an interview with Dodie she says “I think when I was younger I was so excited too because firstly it like it felt like a very exciting thing. I wanted to rush out and say it” in this interview she also talks about how as she grew older she began to realize the difficulties of being bisexual, and the inner biphobia she faced which led to her writing Rainbow.

Friendship
In addition to themes about romance Dodie often sings about friendships, specifically about growing up with friends and losing them. Her song Sick of Losing Soulmates specifically as stated by Dodie in her YouTube video Sick of Losing Soulmates - explanation, tutorial and karaoke! In the video she talks about how this song specifically is about how she is tired of losing friends as she says “I'm done with losing my best friends like my soulmates” Another song that explores the theme of friendship is Party Tattoos, Dodie writes on Genius Lyrics that as a child she often had strict regulations on what she could and could not do, so as a teenager she made friends with anyone who she connected with.

Self Worth
Another theme that frequents Dodies songs is self worth and mental health. Dodie openly talks about her anxiety and depression on her YouTube channel, such as in her videos depression, anxiety, depersonalization and What is derealization / depersonalization? In addition to these videos the theme of self worth can be found inside of her songs. In her Human album Dodie released the song Burned Out which as the name suggests is about being burnt out. In her song Secret for the Mad she sings about mental illness and the healing process that comes with it as it can be seen in the chorus “I've got a secret for the mad, in a little bit of time it wont hurt so bad”. Then in Dodies most recent album Build a Problem she released Hate Myself a song which as the name suggests is about her own self hate and insecurities and how they have impacted her relationships with others.
