The story of the album follows a group of boys’ journey of growth while encountering obstacles and sweet temptations. It is said to be the representation of today’s generation and how they grow despite the challenges presented by the world.

The other tracks in the EP are ‘Devil by the Window‘, ‘Happy Fools (feat. Coi Leray)‘, ‘Tinnitus (Wanna be a Rock)‘, and ‘Farewell, Neverland‘. YeonJun is said to be the topliner for the track ‘Happy Fools (feat. Coi Leray)’, while all the members participated in writing the lyrics for the said track. ‘Tinnitus’ is a trendy Afropop track that talks about the feeling of emptiness and void one experiences after a party. The last track ‘Farewell, Neverland’ is a final salute by the boys to a beautiful yet utterly irresponsible paradise.
