In the video, the album's title track, "O.O.," was introduced combining the voices of the seven members. It is a song that is a mix of the unconventional Baile Funk genre and Teenage Pop Rock genre as the intro of the intense trap catches the ears of K-pop fans from the start.
NMIXX expressed their determination to aim the music scene with their unconventional sound and passionate lyrics.
Following "O.O," the single album's b-sidetrack, "TANK" which was initially used in the trailer video "[NMIXX] Debut Trailer" released on January 28 raised more attention.
In particular, the track intrigued listeners with its intense sound, but among the members, Lily is the "main character" for this song.
