The rock ballad, "To you, Tomorrow" has an electric guitar that amps up the song's vigor and a string melody that doubles the melancholy mood of the piano. The song's lyrics express a man's sadness at realizing how valuable the relationship was to him following their breakup. It was written by member Eunhyuk.[10]
As one of the two new songs from the re-released album, "No Love" is classified into electronic dance music that has swing snares and flowy synths that blend in with different databases.[11] Meanwhile, "What Is Your Name?" is a R&B song featuring their bandmate Shindong, with its lyrics describing sweetness and could be considered as a love song for the group's fanbase, "E.L.F. (Ever lasting friends)." Previously, they have performed the song together during Super Show 8: Infinite Time.[12]
