"Her is about how when I look at myself, or when the public looks at me, they think of me in a certain way, but actually there could be different sides inside. There's a different self from what you see on the outside. I think all these different sides are Minnie, and I want to show them all."
— Minnie, discussing the theme of the EP
Her features seven tracks, all of which were written and composed with Minnie's assistance. Minnie describes the EP as having "diverse genres like funk, ballad, R&B and different colors like dreamy, vivid, kitschy and emotional" [8]
The first track and the EP's title track, "Her", conveys the idea that she is her own source of inspiration, and expressing how she feels about herself both in and out of the spotlight. [8] The last three tracks—"Valentine’s Dream", "It's Okay", and "Obsession"—were written four to five years prior to the EP release, and contain lyrics that recount Minnie's personal experiences. [8]
