The seven-track album marks Jeonghan's first musical release after his compulsory military service in June and Joshua's inaugural sub-unit project since his K-pop career start. The EP's lead single, \"12 O'clock,\" is a dance-rock track that showcases the duo's mature vocals alongside a contemporary take on 70s and 80s disco and funk. Jeonghan revealed the unit meticulously crafted the album so the seven songs flow harmoniously as one narrative, prompting listeners to discover underlying metaphors woven throughout. Despite the nerves accompanying his first album promotion since returning, Jeonghan expressed excitement to reconnect with fans as soon as possible.",
