The new album includes 11 tracks, starting with the double title tracks, as well as "Bad Girls R Us," "Supernatural," a fan song celebrating their 5th anniversary titled "FIVE," "VAY (Feat. Changbin of Stray Kids)," and final versions of previous songs like "BORN TO BE," "UNTOUCHABLE," "Mr. Vampire," "Dynamite," and "Escalator," all completed with the five members' voices. Chaeryeong introduced it by saying, "Since this is an important album, we chose carefully and meticulously more than ever. I think it will be a shining album like a gift." Yeji said, "It is touching to greet everyone together again. Because of that, we want to show wonderful activities with our well-prepared selves," and added, "Since we will be active with the double title tracks, we took a lot of time and put in effort to prepare."
