James K's work is characterized by its ethereal, often haunting, vocals, intricate sound design, and a unique ability to create immersive sonic landscapes that are both fragile and unsettling. Her music often explores themes of vulnerability, transformation, and the complexities of the human experience. She has released several EPs and critically acclaimed albums, including Total Control (2020) and 000 (2022), through labels like Incienso and AD93.

Lyrically, "Doom Bikini" is described as capturing a sense of unraveling and emotional vulnerability. It explores the moment when "something goes wrong, and everything starts to come apart." The title itself, "Doom Bikini," is a striking juxtaposition that could imply a superficial or seemingly light exterior concealing a deeper, darker, or more fragile reality, or perhaps the unexpected discomfort that comes with revelation. The lyrics likely delve into the internal experience of realizing things are falling apart.
