"Red" combines country pop, alternative country, slow rock and adult era music styles. It starts with the banjo, a must-use instrument in country music. However, "Red" is not just a display of banjo country music. The continuously superimposed electronic vocal effects in its climax repeatedly reflect the word "Red". The beginning of the lyrics: "Loving him feels like driving a brand new Maserati to a dead end", which makes people feel very painful and frustrating, and its content is more direct than any clichéd fairy tale.
