The lead single, "Earth, Wind & Fire," explores the unpredictability of love, akin to the uncontrollable forces of nature. Sungho highlighted the rap segment's breakneck pace as a standout feature.

Jaehyun, Taesan, and Woonhak contributed to the composition and lyrics of five tracks on the album, aiming to produce emotionally appealing songs for their listeners.

During a press event in Seoul, Jaehyun discussed his creative process for the title track, drawing inspiration from the film "Kingsman" to infuse a sense of confidence and vulnerability.

BOYNEXTDOOR, set to celebrate its one-year anniversary next month, expressed gratitude to fans and emphasized their commitment to music and performance growth as a group. Jaehyun expressed a personal goal to present the group with a winning trophy as a host for "M Countdown."
