Two teasers for the album were posted on the group's social media accounts on March 23 and 24. The first teaser opens with the phrase "I hope someone to show up as soon as possible" with a tight shot of members' lips. Simultaneously, a mysterious voice messages came out in both Korean and English. The second teaser displayed the particular voice messages in texts, unveiling the release date and the album's name in the last scene.[3] The album's track list was revealed on March 26 and "[ASAP](/source/ASAP_(STAYC_song))" was announced as the lead single. The album contains three new original songs and a remix of their debut single "[So Bad](/source/So_Bad_(STAYC_song))".

Concept photos for the album were released in the following days. The final teaser for the music video for "ASAP" was released on April 7. In the teaser clip, the six members rock different vibrant hair colours and dance on a pastel film set. "I think I'm really cool" member Yoon says to the camera before the beat kicks in.[4]

## Composition

The production on the album is more mellowed and stripped-down compared to that on their debut single album. The lead single "ASAP" was noted to be considerably "low-key" compared to its predecessor. The instrumental hook of the song is laid-back, with its twinkly 8-bit-inspired ringtone melody. The song is trapped between a cutesy [bubblegum pop](/source/Bubblegum_pop) production and a sensual summer jam. "Love Fool" is described as a delicate and cruisy song where the group members aren't forced to sing outside of their comfort zone, instead, they're allowed to bring their distinct persona to the song. "So What" is a bouncy [pop](/source/Pop_music) song with some [auto-tune](/source/Auto-tune). The last track on the album is an unplugged remix of their debut single "[So Bad](/source/So_Bad_(STAYC_song))" titled "So Bad (Tak remix)". It is a dark pop song with influences of [EDM](/source/Electronic_dance_music) and [hip hop](/source/Hip_hop_music).[5] [Black Eyed Pilseung](/source/Black_Eyed_Pilseung) co-produced "ASAP" and "So What" with Jeon Goon and solely produced "Love Fool". Production credits for "So Bad (Tak remix)" were not revealed.

[NME](/source/NME)'s Sofiana Ramli called the album a low-key, summer-ready comeback that manages to hit all the right notes. She noted how the album showcased the group members' range, showing us that they're also equally great in a more stripped-down setting as they are in delivering [dance-pop](/source/Dance-pop) bangers.
