Composition[]

"Temporary" is a track with explosive energy that amplifies the 'chemistry' between Løren and the listener through its addictive hook composition. The rushing sound and refreshing singing synesthetically present the wide spectrum he can show as a musician.^[6]

"Folks" deals with his complex feelings about strangers' interference and prejudice, and makes us listen to what he feels and lives through his dreamy voice contrasting with the guitar tone. It is a rough but truthful expression of a heart tired of the hypocrisy that everyone inevitably feels amidst anxiety and subsequent helplessness.^[7]

"Sticks And Stones" expresses the sense of doubt felt when standing alone among happy people, captures Løren's easygoing and chic side. Through her seemingly indifferent vocal tone, she sensually melts her contemplative gaze on happy people and her own feelings.^[8]

"Panic" is a track that has been perfected with the fresh harmony of his languid yet rough voice and the grunge guitar tone. The sound that seems like it will collapse dangerously but still pushes forward strongly until the end strongly shows his will to find a new breakthrough even in the emotions he faces.^[7]

"Frown" uses contrasting words to express the futile efforts to restore a broken relationship and the emptiness of the relationship, evoking empathy. The gentle groove and the powerful chorus arrangement that overturns it further emphasize the 'broken relationship' and more sincerely express the desire not to be tied down by past love.^[6]
