Composition
The opening track "Little Monster" is a synth-pop on which the members discuss things in life that stress them out, describing them as monsters that they will eat to stop being tormented.[7] The second track "Do the Dance", co-written by Illit member Yunah and Huh Yunjin of Le Sserafim, is a Eurodance song that samples "Yuga Naru Dasso", an instrumental piece from the 1989 anime film The Five Star Stories. The tracks sees the members describing how it feels to go on a first date, with the post-chorus mimicking "the nervous stuttering of young lovers speaking to one another".[2] The third track "Jellyous" is a chiptune-inspired song with a fast beat and child-like envious delivery. The fourth track "Oops!" contains a funky bassline and whistled post-chorus with a wordless breakdown on the bridge, and the closing track "Bamsopoong" is a lo-fi song about the quiet moments in life.[2][16]
