Singles

"Three of Us"

"Three of Us" (Korean: 세 사람; RR: Se Saram), the album's lead single, is a 10-year sequel to "Good Person" (Korean: 좋은 사람; RR: Joeun Saram), which was served as the lead track for the group's fifth studio album Fermata (2001). Performed by Sung Si-kyung, this song follows the pitiful emotions of a man who has to watch the happiness of his two friends before their wedding, never expressing his love.[2]

It was announced that actor Yoo Yeon-seok and former Miss Korea Kim Yu-mi starred in the song's music video.[4]
