The album's theme revolves around love, with three songs—"She A Wolf," "Might As Well," and "New Ride"—played during the showcase. "She a Wolf" is described as a colorful dance song with hip-hop rhythms and rich harmonies, while "New Ride" is a refreshing R&B pop song expressing excitement for a drive under the moonlight with a loved one.

The lead track "Give Me That" is a pop dance song with addictive melodies and brass elements, featuring lyrics about confessing love for the first time. The music video for the song showcases WayV members in various roles, including cowboys, dancers, and basketball players.

The EP also marks the first album without member Winwin, who was absent due to scheduling conflicts.

"Give Me That" is available as both a digital and physical album, released on the same day.
