Background

The album shows the 'breaking down of existing rules and writing down the new rules of Weki Meki, which can be seen in concept photos, music videos, and lyrics. In particular, this album, which has received more momentum as it is a comeback after 4 months, raises expectations for their moves as well as establishing the direction for Weki Meki's ‘Girl Spirit’ with powerful songs and performances.

"COOL" is the album's title track of the album. The album's final track, "100 FACTS" is also COOL's English version.

"Sweet Dreams" takes us down a whimsical introduction which switches up the flow quickly into a sweet vocal.

"D-Day," is a simple love song that contrasts well and shows a hint of Weki Meki's original concept and signature sound. "Just Us" is the album's acoustic ballad, and it's a nice cap to the album.

Release

The EP was released on October 8, 2020, through several music portals, including MelOn and Apple Music.[2][3]
