Daydream is described to be a "medium tempo pop-dance song with lyrical vocals and a delicately tuned arrangement." [8] The lyrics are a confession of love that speak from the perspective of someone experiencing heartbreak, wanting to stay in their eternal daydream where they remain with their lover. Leader Yoon Dujun added that "[Daydream] goes well with spring. The lyrics are sentimental. It is a hybrid song that fulfills both moods." [2]
