Background and music structure

Myname released Myname 3rd Single Album and its lead single "Day by Day" on October 11, 2013. [1] After concluding domestic promotions, the group's focus shifted to the Japanese music market; it resulted in a gap of one year and four months between the release of their previous single album and Myname 2nd Mini Album. [2] Myname was given several tracks while recording new music, including "Too Very So Much". The song was not intended to be a single and the members had reservations over its unusual title, but they concluded that it was a "fun" song and decided it was the best candidate to serve as a lead single. [3]

Sonically, Myname 2nd Mini Album ranges from electronic music to balladry. [4] With its foundation in hip hop, "Too Very So Much" describes a man incapable of dealing with being in love. [5] The track incorporates a "groovy" drum coupled with a prominent "funky" bassline. [6] "Broken Watch" is a "mournful" ballad. [7]
