Other tracks include ‘Summer Poem’ with a bossa nova rhythm themed “the poem of our youthful days written by you and me”, ‘Summer Shape’ written on the theme that everyone experiences summer differently, ‘Dry Ice’ created in special collaboration with the famous composing team 13 known for their work with many K-pop artists like JO1, IZ*ONE, and Taemin, and ‘Summer End’, a city pop genre capturing the bittersweet feelings at the end of summer and the preparation for what comes next, all interpret summer emotions in diverse ways and contain delicate stories looking forward to ONF's next steps.
 
In this hot summer, let’s immerse ourselves in ONF's identity, which creates high-quality storytelling with every album!
 
01. Summer Popping
Composed by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree)
Lyrics by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), WYATT (ONF)
Arranged by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree)
 
‘Summer Popping’, a dance song with the theme ‘you and me immersed in summer’, reinterprets the funky disco genre in K-pop. The refreshing voices of the members, like a carbonated drink in midsummer, blend with the flute in the drop part to deliver a refreshing summer sound. The change in atmosphere when the intro melody sung over a simple piano accompaniment is repeated in the latter part is a key point that drives the narrative of this song.
 
02. Summer Poem
Composed by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), MK (ONF)
Lyrics by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), WYATT (ONF)
Arranged by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree)
 
“Summer Poem”, which sings about the moment of confession while strolling through the city on a summer night, is a song newly arranged with modern instruments while keeping the bossa nova rhythm intact. It presents a new sound of bossa nova, which originally means new wave.
 
03. Summer Shape
Composed by Son Go Eun (MonoTree)
Lyrics by Son Go Eun (MonoTree)
Arranged by Hwang Hyun, Jun_P (MonoTree)
 
“Summer Shape”, written on the theme that just as everyone has different shapes of hearts, the summers we experience are also diverse, strives to capture each member's voice clearly without a chorus. To give it a different color from a typical ballad, spring reverb was used on the vocals, and the basic instrumental arrangement was structured as a jazz trio. The participation of pianist Jun_P further enhanced the song's completeness.
 
04. Dry Ice
Composed by SCORE (13), Megatone (13), Inner Child, Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), MK (ONF)
Lyrics by GDLO (MonoTree), WYATT (ONF), Inner Child (MonoTree)
Arranged by SCORE (13), Megatone (13)
 
Like the contrasting track atmosphere of a swirling drop part and a loose reggae part, ‘Dry Ice’ is used as a material that makes the surroundings cold but feels hot when touched. The song ends with a coda that seems to have a hidden next story after the second verse, deviating from the typical structure of popular music. The collaboration with the famous composing team 13, known for their work with many K-pop artists like JO1, IZ*ONE, and Taemin, has created a synergy that further shines ONF.
 
05. Summer End
Composed by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree)
Lyrics by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree), WYATT (ONF)
Arranged by Hwang Hyun (MonoTree)
 
This city pop genre song captures the bittersweet feelings at the end of summer and the calm preparation for what comes next. It conveys a message that when we meet the next summer, we hope our trajectory will be present in that unfamiliar future through the members' emotional vocals.
