The album also includes touches of hip-hop, present on songs such as "Hey Homies!", "Luck Dragon Lady!" and "Radio Down!", the latter featuring an appearance from Biz Markie, as well as a ska song, "In My Dreams!". Musically, Hi-Five Soup! continues in the guitar and keyboard-driven rock and new wave sounds that The Aquabats established on their previous album Charge!!, though incorporates slightly stronger elements of synthpop and electronica. Of the album's music, he mentioned "there's more stripped down punk kind of sounds" and "we have been relying a lot more on the keyboards and there's a lot more electronic stuff in there, but I think kids will be surprised that there are some songs that sound a lot like old school Aquabats". In interviews leading up to Hi-Five Soup! 's release, lead vocalist Christian Jacobs (The MC Bat Commander) described the album as " Yo Gabba Gabba!-meets-The Aquabats", noting " themes of the songs are just kind of silly and 's less trying to appeal to a little bit older crowd and just trying to appeal to the Halloween costume crowd".
