Trivia[]
- The music video to the title track was shot in New Zealand.

- Despite only charting at number two on the weekly chart, "I" was the best-selling album on the Gaon Album Chart of October with 100,923 physical units sold.
- It became the sixteenth best-selling album of 2015 in South Korea, with sales figures standing at 119,576 copies.
- According to the Korea Music Contents Industry Association, "I" was the main contributor which helped SM Entertainment topped digital music sales in South Korea during the fourth quarter of 2015.
