Another significant track from NA is the fourth score Magic (Feat. Julie of KISS OF LIFE), written and composed by Charlie Taft and Daniel Obi Klein.

For the unversed, Julie is a South Korean-American rapper and the leader of the new K-pop group KISS OF LIFE aka KIOF that debuted in 2023 under S2 Entertainment. The girl group debuted with Kiss of Life (EP) and its title track 쉿 (Shhh) was an instant hit worldwide.

Nayeon's fifth score HalliGalli is another special song since it is produced by AKMU's Lee Chan-hyuk, who is a renowned South Korean singer-songwriter, producer, and author. The track is coined by the AKMU vocalist as well. For those unaware AKMU aka Akdong Musician is a duo set of Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Su-hyun as the lead, who also happen to be real-life siblings.

Furthermore, the sixth song HalliGalli shares its name with the famous Korean card game. In the fast-paced action game Halli Galli, players search for groups containing precisely five fruits in the 56 playing cards. Each participant gets an equal share of the deck. The game includes a bell along with four different types of fruit arranged in groupings of one to five.

The song is named after one of the most popular games in South Korea and several idols have been seen playing it on several occasions such as BTS' Jin in Youngji's YouTube talk show Nothing Much Prepared.

The sixth track Something is written by Jinri from Full8loom and produced by Sam Klempner, BLVSH, and Sandra Wikstrom. Meanwhile, the last track Count It is written by the South Korean singer-songwriter and producer SOLE (former Live High member).
