Moon Sua delivers a powerful rap with a husky voice, creating a strong presence, while Si Yun showcases a smooth flow and impressive performance, highlighting the unit's identity. The song metaphorically explores the various challenges faced in life's journey, reflecting a continuous dialogue and introspection about their future paths.
The experimental sound design transcends traditional genre boundaries, incorporating Billlie's innovative musical style. Global production teams such as Benjamin 55 and Stary 55 contributed to enhancing the track's quality.
The featured artist, the iconic rapper sokodomo (소코도모), adds to the musical synergy, drawing attention to the collaboration.
The accompanying music video presents a dreamy atmosphere with a unique 'chrome noir' concept, showcasing Moon Sua and Si Yun in a dramatic setting reminiscent of a fencing arena, heightening the tension as they face each other. A mysterious mermaid figure appears, hinting at Billlie's signature storytelling.
Billlie has consistently left a deep impression with their unique sensibility and storytelling, and with this sub-unit, Moon Sua and Si Yun have maximized their individual talents and personalities while making a bold artistic statement.
