Composition
Lyrics for "Fame" were written by BigOne. Haring (MonoTree), Awrii (The Hub), and ChaMane made additional contributions to composition.[5] The song is described as a rage influenced hip-hop song featuring a bold rhythmic progression layered with the gritty texture of electric guitar, creating a dynamic and energetic sound. The lyrics emphasise the desire to share genuine feelings and love rather than pursuing fame.[6]

The event was broadcast live on YouTube, TikTok, and Weverse, where they performed the song fo the first time.[7] They also performed the song on 1theK's 1theKILLPO On November 27.[8] On November 29, they performed the song on 2025 MAMA Awards.[9]
