** In the very early drafts of the story, Steff’s song in the final show was planned to be “She” by Jen Foster as a way of confessing her feelings to Ash. As the author figured out her character arc, their love confession instead happened ''before'' the very end and [[Creator/SammyDavisJr “I’ve Gotta Be Me”]] was chosen as the more fitting song for her.

* AwesomeDearBoy: Or ''adorable'', in this case. The author really wanted to make this series to give Ash a girlfriend, having been inspired by the casual LGBT representation in cartoons like ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''.
* SelfRemake: “I’ve Gotta Be Me” (and the series as a whole) is a remake of the author’s very first ''Sing'' fanfic that paired Ash with a male porcupine named Jason, [[CreatorBacklash one that he felt suffered]] from the main character having unfocused motivations and the story being told only from his perspective ([[MurderArsonAndJaywalking as well as being heteronormative]]).
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Several for “I’ve Gotta Be Me”:
** Steff was first designed as a bespectacled porcupine with three quills on either side of her head. Ultimately the author made her a skunk so she would stand out among the other characters and her original design was incorporated into her ma Andrea, making her and Cassie an [[InterspeciesRomance interspecies couple]].
** Ash originally would have performed [[Music/{{Blondie|Band}} "Hanging On The Telephone"]] in the junior year talent show before [[Music/OzzyOsbourne “Crazy Train”]] was chosen instead. The former was later used in “Our First Gig”.
** The author thought of having Steff first try to ask Ash out on ''Valentine’s Day'' of all days before discovering her and Lance were together, but determined [[KickTheDog that would have just been cruel]].
** Becky was briefly considered being written as Steff’s ex-girlfriend before she met Ash. The idea was scrapped for being ''too'' much of a coincidence.
