The title song “Devil” is a slow R&B song that blends groovy drums, grand bass riffs and heavy a cappella chorus to create an overwhelming atmosphere featuring Max's colourful ad-libs and delicate vocal techniques that express the exploding emotions. The lyrics written by Max is said to be enough to feel the intense charisma with the will to move forward confidently without giving in to the devil's whispers even in a difficult reality. [3]
