Background
On May 19, 2022, it was announced via Twice's social media pages that Nayeon would release her first extended play, titled Im Nayeon, on June 24.[6] It was accompanied by a teaser image featuring a close-up shot of what appears to be a coffee table, with trinkets such as bottles of nail polish, jewellery and a cup of tea strewn across.[7] Specifics about Im Nayeon and its impending release were also unveiled in the following weeks, with worldwide pre-orders for the mini-album starting on May 24.[8]
Composition
The lead single "Pop!" was described as a song that "conjures classic Twice"[9] and a refreshing bubblegum pop anthem that sings of a sweet, daring message that she will not hesitate to burst one's bubble. Notably, lyricist Lee Seu-ran, and songwriters Kenzie and LDN Noise wrote on the song. "Pop!" was composed in the key of D major with a tempo of 97 beats per minute.[10] The EP features collaborations with Felix of Stray Kids and Korean rapper Wonstein. Other notable names who worked on the EP include Jade Thirlwall of British girl group Little Mix, production team The Stereotypes and American singer-songwriter Destiny Rogers.[11] Nayeon participated in writing the lyrics for "Love Countdown" and is credited as the sole lyricist on "All or Nothing", which she wrote while on tour with Twice in the United States. It talks about all the things that helped her overcome hardships during the course of her life.[12]
Title
The album's title, Im Nayeon, is a play on the near-identical spelling of the artist's last name and the contraction "I'm".[13]
