Background[]

On February 7, 2023, OSEN reported that Billlie would be making a comeback in March with their fourth mini album. That same day, it was confirmed by Mystic Story.^[1]^[2] On March 6, it was announced that they would be releasing their fourth mini album The Billage of Perception : Chapter Three on March 28.^[3]

Composition[]

"Enchanted Night ~ White Night (白夜)" is an alternative disco-pop song, with a neo-funk style, danceable and groovy track with analog synth elements. The song is based on the original story of the same name by Steven Millhauser, describing the feeling of going for a stroll in the night and sharing stories with friends when young.^[4]

"Lion Heart (The Real Me)" is a fusion of moombahton and reggaeton, with a latin hip-hop beat. The song is said to contain the message that "courage comes from the heart, not the head".^[4]

The title track "Eunoia" is described as an alternative funk pop track that combines the elements of synth wave, disco, and G-funk with an overall hip-hop theme. The title of the song is derived from the Greek word εὔνοιᾰ, which the group interpreted as "we all have mixed feelings about the world, and we must recognise and embrace that ambivalence in order to become our true selves".^[4]

"Various and Precious (Moment of Inertia)" combines Nu Jazz and 80's synth pop elements. The song is dedicated to Billlie's fandom Belllie've, with all members participating in writing lyrics. The title of the song is taken from the concept of the moment of inertia, expressing the organic relationship between Billlie and Belllie've.^[4]

"Extra-Ordinary" is a neo-funk song with UK acid jazz bass leading the song. The song is from a first person perspective, showing the character Billlie confessing their worries and feelings to the narrator.^[4]

"Nevertheless" combines alternative R&B and neo soul elements, with the song having an emphasis on the members vocal abilities, featuring a complex top-line and harmonies.^[4]
