Yesung experimented with various genres in Sensory Flows and its repackage,ranging from Indie pop,R&B,and Jazz-pop [1] [2] The lyrics of "Small Things" talk about simple emotions and stories that make everyday life worthwhile. [8] Speaking on an interview Kim Shin-young,Yesung revealed the titular track felt stylistically suited for him and adding that the song feels sophisticated. [9] "All Night Long" is described as a song that lies between synth-pop and Lo-fi music,with the lyrics narrating to those who are still waiting for their lovers for a long time. [10] "Like Us" (not to be confused with the song with the same title from the previous album),is a city pop song written by Nokdu with whom Yesung had collaborated before. [9] Its lyrics convey the state of the heart of starting love. [10] "Beautiful" is a song penned by Yesung and Min Yeon-jae,taking an inspiration from the former's dislike of noisy place when travelling. Yesung recounted the inspiration of writing the song came during his trip to Seocheon County and Namhae County. [9] "HO",is an R&B-jazz song featuring Mark of NCT's rap lines with warm guitar song and piano as its music. [10] "Bear Hug" as suggested on the title,narrates the longing for comfort. [10] "4 Seasons" is another jazz song featured in the album,with its lyrics encouraging the listeners to reminisce about good times with their loved ones and look forward to the next meeting. [10] "Moment" is a soul ballad with vintage melodies and warm acoustic complemented with lyrics of unchanged feelings to another despite not meeting for a long time. [10] The penultimate track is "Mermaid",another ballad of the album is a melancholic song with its lyrics narrating the desire to be with someone only for them to realize they are stuck in fantasy. The original album concludes with "Together",an easy listening song that talks about pets. [10]
The reissued album features three additional songs —"Floral Sense" (featuring Winter),"Mother",and the solo version of "Floral Sense." "Floral Sense" is an indie pop song that talks about emotional identity. [11]
