Composition


The EP contains a total of 6 songs.[7] The lead single, "28 Reasons", is described as a dance-pop song characterized by groovy and heavy bass sounds and featuring a whistling sound. The lyrics depict a character who is both "good and evil" and the way this affects the relationship they're in.[8][9]

"Dead Man Runnin" is a R&B, dance-pop song featuring "energetic" drums, synth sounds, and bass drops. Written by Seulgi, in the lyrics she expresses her anxiety and the emptiness she felt when she was hurt in the past.[10][11] In an interview with Rolling Stone Seulgi explained "It was a song that makes you feel like a villain will appear. How will the villain appear? I made up that narrative and thought of someone who would want to destroy the world. These are thoughts we don’t normally have" Furthermore she added: "Joker, in particular. He was hurt and abused before he turned into a villain. When you hear the song, I think those emotions come to the surface."[12]

"Bad Boy, Sad Girl" is a mid-tempo R&B song that features a "bouncing" piano.[13] a collaboration with rapper Be'O, where he participated in rap making.[14] "Anywhere but Home" is a "disco-style" song with elements of R&B and dance-pop, the lyrics about taking a ride to "unfamiliar place" on a sleepless night.[15] "Los Angeles", is an EDM song with a bold drop of techno sound. Lyrically, it describes the scenery of the "City of Angels", and the feeling of excitement and anticipation of finding a new dream in an "unfamiliar place".[15] "Crown" is an R&B dance-pop track with heavy drum and synth melody.[14]
