Composition

In an interview with Consequence of Sound , Julie shared that the group was excited to explore the hip hop genre through songs like "Get Loud" and "Igloo", as the group has been known for more of an R&B sound since their debut. "Back to Me" is more of an "easy and soft" song as described by Haneul. The last song, "No One But Us", incorporates EDM for a sentimental close to the mini-album. [10]
