 * Adults Are Useless: All three adults in the "Who's Laughing Now" video are aloof to Young Jessie J's actions.
 * Alice Allusion: The tea party table in "Nobody's Perfect".
 * Apathetic Teacher: The teacher in "Who's Laughing Now" is shown at her desk rolling her eyes and showing disinterest at the chaos in her room.

 * The Ladette: "Do It Like a Dude" is centered around the "man-dem".
 * Melismatic Vocals
 * Precision F Strike: Although "Jessie J" already curses in both "Do It Like a Dude" and "L.O.V.E.", she drops a f-bomb in the otherwise clean "Nobody's Perfect" for good effect.
 * Singer Namedrop: In "Do It Like a Dude", "Nobody's Perfect" and the music video of "Nobody's Perfect".
