- Alley Oop is an energetic hip-hop song featuring powerful brass and 808 bass and features the message of always running towards victory without stopping.
- That’s Not Fair is a hip-hop genre song that samples Bach’s ‘Fugue in G Minor BWV 578’ with a message that no one believe and lives in reality, creating a dark and dystopian atmosphere.
- Kangaroo is a medium-tempo pop song that features a refreshing yet mature vibe, with melodic guitar and piano sounds.
- Not Your Fault is an R&B pop song with a soft keyboard sound and contains comfort and support to all those who are struggling alone.
- Golden Age is a reinterpretation of Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 8 In C Minor, Op. 13 ‘Pathetique’ – II. Adagio Cantabile, the composition utilizes a variety of intense trap beats and elegant piano melodies. Hopeful lyrics welcome NCT’s brilliant golden age.
The album’s release follows the news that NCT will no longer be an expansive group, with the lineup of NCT to be finalized following the debut of the next unit (NCT Tokyo). The album also comes after the departure of members Sungchan and Shotaro, who have left the group to debut under RIIZE, and Lucas, who departed from the group following controversy.
