  • Americans Hate Tingle:
    • While she has been a beloved pop figure within European countries for quite some time, Sophie has never been able to replicate that success in the United States despite working with American songwriters like Gregg Alexander. A good example of this is with "Murder on the Dance Floor", a major hit all across the United Kingdom and other European countries, yet it completely bypassed the United States despite a limited single release. Her albums have only been digitally released in America, and while she has a decently-sized cult fanbase in the States it's seemingly never been enough for physical issues.
    • That being said, however, 2024 might see a major change to this; after "Murder on the Dance Floor" was featured at the end of Saltburn, the song went viral online, spreading even to America where the song became her first-ever appearance on the Hot 100.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: "The Deer & The Wolf" was released in 2014, few years before Beastars explored the complex relationship between the anthropomorphic versions of those two animals.
  • Signature Song: "Murder on the Dance Floor", especially with its resurgence in 2024 because of its usage in Saltburn, introducing a new generation to her.
