The band's sound blends electropop with new wave and shoegazing elements. Ladytron have described their sound as "electronic pop".[3] They focused on a balance between pop structures and experimental sounds. Some of the group's songs performed by Aroyo contain lyrics written in her native Bulgarian.

Ladytron took their name from the 1972 song of the same name by Roxy Music.[4] Former Roxy Music member Brian Eno has described Ladytron as "the best of English pop music".[5]
