Background and release


In January 2021, I.M announced the solo work he had been preparing in 2020 would be released as his first solo album, rather than a mixtape release, with an intended release later in 2021.[2][3][4][5] The EP was released digitally rather than as a physical album to avoid restrictions on its sales by an explicit rating.[6]

NME[7]

The tracks on the album were noted for all being themed around "duality" (二重性).[8] I.M was noted as "showing versatility as an artist" and "expanding his musical style, when compared to his work in Monsta X".[9][10] That the difference of his musical style for Monsta X to his solo work, as noted by Ruby C for NME, it was "part of showing the theme of the album", along with the "emotion and delivery of the tracks".[7]
