Alexander has cited influences like Electric Light Orchestra, The Libertines, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, The Beach Boys, Burt Bacharach and The XX. Phuture Life adds, “Reminiscent of the early British rock scene with particular focus on the work of  Paul Mc Cartney and John Lennon, Alexander combines this distinct sound with contemporary fine-tuning in the form of electronic adornment. The overall tone of the track is hope turned to joy, expressing his feelings about his love from afar.”

‘I’ll Wait’ is a romantic ode to a lover. The lyrics express the promise of a future together, even though the lovers cannot be together at present. The lyrics are somewhat bittersweet, but the instrumental and electronics ease the sadness with its hopeful and upbeat tempo.
