    III. Music and Lyrics


    Kill This Love is stomping, brassy electropop track with trap elements.

    The song contains "blaring horns and martial percussion" with Rose and Jisoo leading the "impassioned" pre-choruses about breaking up.

    The second track Don't Know What To Do is an EDM and pop song with throbbing bass, whistle-like hook and an acoustic guitar.

    "Kick It", the third song, is a song with elements of Southern trap, synth bass and acoustic guitar.

    The song is about telling past lovers: “I’m okay being alone / Don’t feel bad for me / I’m going to forget you now.

    The fourth track, "Hope Not", is a soft acoustic pop rock ballad about break-up where the person has moved on from yearning to acceptance.

    The closing track, "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du (remix)" was described as a "quivering, womping club-ready Remix".
