When writing the songs, Soyeon revealed that she begins with a song title before anything else. After establishing a title, she then works on a melody before moving on to the lyrics.

Soyeon clarified that everyone in the group loves music, and they have the collective goal of composing their songs to tell the group’s story.

This goal led the group to begin their career by debuting with their own songs, and they’ve been involved with the production and creation of their music ever since.
