Wendy reveals that the final song of her mini-album, "Best Friend," which features fellow Red Velvet member Seulgi, was supposed to be a solo song but had asked Seulgi to sing it with her. "It was a song I [originally] sang by myself, but I asked Seulgi to sing it together. It's a song that expresses the gratitude of a best friend," Wendy said.
Joy confessed that when she heard the song, she cried due to the overwhelming feelings as she started to remember the time that had passed with the group.
The first title song, "When This Rain Stops," which is composed of Wendy's vocals and piano alone, took 15 hours to record, Wendy, confessed.
Her second title song, "Like Water," is a clean and clear ballad song that expresses how people need each other just as people need water. With the song, she wanted to include and show her gratitude to her fans for trusting and waiting for her.
