According to Haewon, they thought it was a “really cool” song. They were, however, surprised when they heard the abrupt change in genre after the lyric “NMIXX,” which was originally a different word.

Oh, we listened to the title song well, and when we got to ‘O.O,’ it was really cool. We thought it was a song full of swag, but it wasn’t ‘NMIXX’—it was a different lyric. In the song, the genre changes after hearing ‘NMIXX.’ We were surprised.
