Soyeon was slated to hold the position for 6 to 8 months, overseeing the Black Eyes and its re-issue Funky Town promotion period. This leadership system allowed the appointed leader to play a pivotal role in shaping the group's creative direction, including conceptualizing ideas, collaborating with composers, deciding on styling, in addition to managing group activities and schedules. Furthermore, the leader provided support for members' individual projects. [8] Soyeon succeeded Hyomin, who had led the group during the production and promotions of John Travolta Wannabe . During the leadership handover, Hyomin guided Soyeon in using the music sequencer, as Soyeon was tasked with overseeing various aspects of the album's production which included music video editing and audio mixing ensuring a smooth transition of duties. [9]

In an interview with Money Today, Soyeon revealed that the group collaborated with the production team, discussing and brainstorming ideas for the album's concept, style, and choreography, ensuring that every aspect aligned with their vision.

She expressed their goal of embodying a "chameleon-like" image, constantly evolving and adapting to new creative directions while staying true to their core identity. [10]

The choreography for "Cry Cry" was created by Yama & Hotchicks dance studio, known for their work on several of T-ara's previous hits, including "Bo Peep Bo Peep", "You're Driving Me Crazy" and "Why Are You Being Like This?". [11] The dance features symbolic movements, such as the members wiping away their tears, reflecting the song's emotional theme and title.
