Composition
The lyrics were written by Kim Su-jung and Jaden Jeong. It was produced by Sophia Pae and BADD's SlyBerry, Billie Jean, and Kim Jin-hyeong.[1] It was described by Billboard as a brassy dance track that overflows with charisma and bright percussion. Adding that with prominent trills and trumpeting synths propelling the melody to its dynamic chorus, plus a woozy, alt R&B bridge later in the song, the song condenses the act’s innovative nature into a boisterous tune.[2]
