MustB's music heavily features light, rhythmical beats, delicate bass lines and sensuous melodies, as they continue experimenting with various genres including hip-hop, EDM, and future house. Their songs focus on the message of spreading love. MustB believe that love is what heals wounded hearts. Because people are scared and feel discomfort in different ways, MustB wants to create music that brings comfort and heals these wounds for people all around the world.[20]
