BUT YOU *TITLE Lyrics: AiRPLAY, Kid Wine, BOBBY, Maribelle Anes / Composition: KANG UK JIN, Diggy, Maribelle Anes / Arrangement: KANG UK JIN, Diggy : A Synthwave genre song that reinterprets 80s POP music with a modern sound. It is an impressive track featuring a retro mood that iKON had not previously attempted, along with lyrics that honestly confess the feeling of being unable to forget a former lover. 2. DRAGON Lyrics: BOBBY / Composition: BOBBY, THE PROOF, MILLENNIUM, JAY, DK, DEE.P / Arrangement: DEE.P, MILLENNIUM, THE PROOF : A song that compares iKON to the ‘Dragon,’ an imaginary animal appearing in myths and legends and a symbol of divine power. In particular, members Jinhwan, Bobby, and Donghyuk participated in the songwriting, fully revealing their confidence in iKON's incomparable intense music and glamorous performances. 3. FOR REAL? Lyrics: DK, BOBBY / Composition: DK, KANG UK JIN, Diggy, Lee Chang Woo / Arrangement: KANG UK JIN, Diggy, Lee Chang Woo : A medium-tempo song that cutely and wittily expresses an exclamation toward a loved one, asking, 'Is this what it feels like to fall in love?' Dominated by rhythmical drums and guitar, the lingering hook point and catchy lyrics capture the hearts of listeners. 4. GOLD Lyrics: YOON, BOBBY / Composition: YOON, KANG UK JIN, Diggy / Arrangement: KANG UK JIN, Diggy : A song gifted to iKON by WINNER's Kang Seung-yoon. Sweet lyrics stating that 'time with a loved one is more important than a million gold pieces' are added atop a chill-vibe Hip-Hop track, making listeners' hearts flutter. 5. NAME Lyrics: DK, BOBBY, Sonny, Se.A / Composition: DK, KANG UK JIN, Diggy, Sonny / Arrangement: KANG UK JIN, Diggy : A Pop Ballad song featuring a distinct narrative structure and standout harmony. The lyrics are impressive, capturing the emotion of calling the name of a person one must let go of, even though they cannot be forgotten and can never be called upon again. Furthermore, iKON's more mature vocals and sorrowful emotions leave a deep lingering impression. 6. AT EASE (CD ONLY) Lyrics: MINO, BOBBY / Composition: MINO, FUTURE BOUNCE / Arrangement: FUTURE BOUNCE : A song gifted to iKON by WINNER's Song Min-ho. It paradoxically conveys a message through the expression 'at ease,' hoping that everyone living a rigid and intimidated life can rest freely. The intense drop, the impressive hook with repeating lyrics, and the outro—which feels like a completely different song due to its total reversal—provide a fresh feeling without a moment of boredom. It is a song that allows iKON to 100% radiate their free and wild charm on stage.
