The eponymous title track, written and produced by Park Jin-young, alternates between a hip-hop rhythm with a Roland TR-808-style kick and dance-pop mixed with electronic music.
The song "Hold Me Tight" features the usage of synth music and lyrically talks about a girl's sorrow of hoping for a quick confession from her romantic interest who is oblivious to her feelings.
