Let's Have a Meal Sometime 'Let's Have a Meal Sometime' adheres to the authentic trot sound that is most characteristic of Lee Chan-won.

The lyrics and composition were handled by the Ma A-seong and Jeon Hong-min duo, who are called the Avengers of the trot world. 10. Like It, Like It Is there any phrase more fluttering than "I like everything about you"? [Like It, Like It] is a song that expresses infinite love for a loved one.
