Ryujin explained:
In this album, we tried various [genres]. I think we have grown musically. I also think each member’s expressions, and the vocal skills got much better [in] the latest album.
Yeji also added on the process:
We practiced a lot and did a lot for this album. I was looking [forward] to how people would react to this album but I was also kind of nervous and worried how people will accept this album because it was a very new attempt for ITZY.
Finally, Chaeryeong offered insight into the new era:
We wanted to show a very new side of us through this album. We actually did many challenges like with choreography, the new song, everything was a challenge for ITZY. But we tried our best for our fans to show the new sides of ITZY. So we would like the fans to feel that ITZY has potential to show many things and we still have many things to show. So please look forward to it.
