VIIA had the following to say about ‘Animal Style’

The inspiration for “Animal Style” originally came from feeling that I was living a passive life. Shortly after recording a demo, I found out a dear friend of mine had taken his own life. I fell into a deep depression and finishing this song became a way for me to actively process my emotions about it. “Animal Style” then became a tribute to him.

Once it was finished, it took on a meaning bigger than just my personal experience. “Animal Style” is a song intended to spread awareness of mental health and encourage people to seek help when they need it; specifically, people of color who are disenfranchised and overlooked in regards to mental health.
