[1] It is a dance-pop song which is evocative of "early summer feels". [2] [3] While writing the song, Jung imagined working as a salaryman "doing a job I don't like and didn't suit me", concluding that, "we should forget such difficult times together because working is difficult no matter the job". [4] The band sought to conceive a "fun song", with Jung wanting to "cheer up the listener". [5]
