Background and Conception
The majority of the album was conceived during two writing sessions, one in Las Vegas and another in a castle in Barnstaple. Electra recorded most of the album's vocals in a home studio due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

My Agenda is a hyperpop and experimental pop record that features elements of heavy metal, glitch pop, techno, baroque pop, trance, bubblegum bass, gregorian chant, dubstep, deconstructed club, trap, hardstyle, shock rock, europop, and viking metal.

Electra has described the album as a "crisis in masculinity" and "[tackles] topics such as incel culture, the politicization of athletics, culture wars and more" "through a queer lens". The album's title is a reference to the "gay agenda" and the title song is written "from the perspective of a conspiracy theorist who is watching their country being taken over by a gay dictator".

Critical reception
My Agenda received mostly positive reviews from music critics. American Songwriter praised My Agenda, giving the project five stars. Commenting on the record's ability to blend political themes, musical experimentation, and pop hooks, the publication noted that "Electra presents a mosaic look on today's cultural confusion while retaining a sense of fun. For example, the project’s lead single, “Sorry Bro (I Love You),” plays with themes of sexuality and gender in a normalizing way that presents homoeroticism as something cute and fun, as opposed to shameful."

The album was ranked as the 48th best album of 2020 by Uproxx and the 16th best by Flood. The title track was included on Billboard 's list of the best LGBTQ songs of 2020.
