Background and music structure

M1112 (4colors) contains a spectrum of hip hop music, from "deep" to trendy. [1] By early October 2018, D-Crunch had completed 80% of its first mini-album and was scheduled to be released the following month. [2] O.V compared the record to rainbow rice cake due to the numerous "colors" found in the tracks. [2] Hyunwook noted the contrast in style and concept from 0806 . [3]

M1112 (4colors) opens with "I Miss You", where the lyrics express D-Crunch's feelings to its fans. [4] "Stealer" is a hip-hop song based in electronic dance music with an orchestra session. [5] Conceptually, the song is about "thieves who steal everything". [6] The lyrics assert the group's "ambitious message to head to the top". [7] O.V characterized the song as "more explosive" than the group's debut single and predecessor "Palace", also describing it as "exceptional and intense". [2] He implemented a siren sound to raise its "sense of urgency". [6] Dylan called it an "upgrade" with more energy. [1] "I'm OK" is a "warm" track for the autumn and winter seasons. [4] Described as an "emotional healing song", the group looks back on its days as trainees and vocalist Hyunwook sings the climax is a high pitch. [8] "Now" has a "refined groove". [4]
