In 2012, More You Becomes You was cited as an influence by Destroyer's Dan Bejar.[9]

Recording

More You Becomes You's songs feature mournful pianos, sweeping arrangements, plaintive emotional confessionals, and delicate vocal harmonies. For the album, Hayes abandoned the electric arrangements of his debut single "Found a Little Baby" in favor of simple piano arrangements and a more raw approach to production, with much of the album being recorded by Hayes on a tape machine installed by his piano. At one point, Hayes can be heard "giggling mischievously as he misses the high notes of a delicate '(I Didn't Know) I Was Asleep'".[5]
