The album contains a total of six tracks, including the pre-release English-language single "I Got You", "Rush" with lyrics written by Chaeyoung, "Bloom" with lyrics written by Jungyeon, and "You Get Me" with lyrics written by Dahyun. "One Spark" features a chill drum and bass, followed by a gradual build-up of dreamlike synth sounds, depicting the unwavering passion of youth with lyrics written by Shim Eun Ji and it explores themes of love, passion, and the enduring flame of connection.

Review 

The song explores themes of self-discovery, uniqueness, and the pursuit of individuality. The lyrics delve into personal introspection and the realization of one's worth beyond societal expectations and standards. The music video features a dark storyline where IU finds herself caught up in a strange connection with a woman who seems to have committed a crime.
