CSS transform is applied to an element, not just on the element's contents. Hence your rotated background.

If you want to rotate text without rotating the background, add an extra <div> inside your element, and place the text + transform-CSS within that element.

Suggested update:

<span class="twenty-percent">
    <div class="rotate"></div>
    20%
</span>

Your rotating the span tag which is also holding your background image.

<span class="twenty-percent rotate"/>

rotate - rotating the span(everything in it.

twenty-percent - this is also holding your background image.

I would suggest to wrap 20% inside one more span <span class="rotate">20%</span> and give class .rotate to it instead.

<span class="twenty-percent"/><span class="rotate">20%</span></span>

You have two classes, but they are the same element, so when you rotate your .rotate class you are also rotating the class .twenty-percent as they are the same element.
