DOYOUNG kicks off the album by sincerely pouring his excitement and sincerity towards music into his self-penned song “Beginning,” which marks his first credit on the album. He also co-wrote “From Little Wave,” a track in which he equates how light, sand, and even footprints grow in their symbolic beauty when in front of the sea and wholeheartedly reveals his gratitude to the fans who always allow him shine brighter when they’re by his side. Moreover, "Time Machine (Feat. TAEYEON, MARK)" is a medium-tempo pop ballad highlighting the different emotions of lovers facing separation. DOYOUNG, TAEYEON, and MARK’s vocals blend seamlessly over acoustic guitar sounds. In "Serenade," DOYOUNG's warm vocals convey the desire of becoming the only one for the person he loves. The album also includes a heartfelt ballad track, "Rewind," that expresses the poignant desire to go back to the final moment of a breakup and undo the parting. "Warmth" delivers a message of hope, portraying how a small light in life's dark and difficult moments can become the hope to move forward. Additionally, "Lost In California" powerfully communicates the whirlwind of loneliness and fear felt on the path toward one's dreams. With the modern rock genre track, "Rest," DOYOUNG cheerfully comforts the youth of this generation who are living through difficult days, reassuring them that it’s okay to take a break when things get tough. Finally, in "Dallas Love Field," where the soaring guitar riffs capture the ears, DOYOUNG extends his gratitude to everyone who has been with him on his own journey through youth.
