Composition
The album has incorporated various genres such as hard rock, synth-pop, and pop-R&B.[6] During the showcase, the group revealed that the storyline and the lyricism is connected to their debut EP, The Billage of Perception: Chapter One. The opening track, "My B = The Birth of Emotion", is a synth-pop number with a "psychedelic" synth phrase. The second and the pop-R&B track "B'rave ~ A Song for Matilda" is inspired by the 1988 novel Matilda written by Roald Dahl. The third and the title track "Ring Ma Bell (What a Wonderful World)" is a hard rock number that starts with a 70's crunchy overdrive guitar riff. "Sun Palace (Stroop Effect)" is a follow-up for "Moon Palace" from their second EP The Collective Soul and Unconscious: Chapter One. "Mcguffins ~ Who's the Joker?" is a dance-pop track that fusions latin trap and Chicago hip hop. "Back 2 Where We Belong" is a rock number that acts as a fan song.[7]
