Album description[]

"28 Reasons" is a pop dance song with a groovy, heavy bass and a signature whistle. SEULGI's vocal control gives a strong sense of immersion. The lyrics feature a character in which good and evil coexists as they show their innocent interest and mischievous playfulness towards the person they like. It throws questions about the multiple reasons surrounding their relationship. [1]

"Dead Man Runnin' " is an R&B pop dance song with energetic drums and synth sound, and an epic bass drop creating a tense of tension SEULGI's cooling and explosive vocals will fascinate your ears. This is SEULGI's first full participation as a lyricist since debut. In the lyrics, the narrator warns the person who hurt them in the past and vividly depicts the empty and dangerous heart resulting from that pain.[2] The recording diary for Dead Man Runnin' was released on October 15, 2022.

"Bad Boy, Sad Girl (feat. BE'O)" is a medium tempo R&B love song with a lively piano instrumental and a lovely vibe. The lyrics express the inner thoughts of two people who cannot sleep because of love in a cute and witty way. Rapper BE'O from Show Me The Money 10, who positioned himself as an in-demand rapper, added charm to the song with his rap making and feature. SEULGI's languid vocals and BE'O's emotional rapping will show a unique synergy.[3] A special video was released for Bad Boy, Sad Girl (ft. BE'O) on October 8, 2022

"Anywhere But Home" is a disco-style R&B pop dance song. You can feel a free and romantic mood through SEULGI's dreamlike vocal color and the lyrics about lightly riding off to an unfamiliar place on a sleepless night.[4]

"Los Angeles" is an EDM pop dance song that highlights a drastic techno drop following SEULGI's languid vocals. The lyrics sensuously describe the landscape of "the City of Angels" Los Angeles, USA, showing the thrill and anticipation of finding a new dream in an unfamiliar place.[5]

"Crown" is an R&B pop dance song that creates a daunting vibe through the repetition of heavy drums and a chilling synth melody. The lyrics depicting the gaze of an Absolute Being on the throne and the restrained intensity of SEULGI's vocals leave a deep impression. The chorus ensemble reminiscent of the outcry of a crowd maximizes its grandeur.[6]
