The EP featured 6 songs that reflect Red Velvet's unique musical approach: a combination of "red" (primarily bright pop) and "velvet" (more r&b and ballads) songs. It is the first release to include the fifth member, Yeri. The EP's two singles reflect both sides of Red Velvet's sound, with the velvet track "Automatic" released on March 14 and the red track Ice Cream Cake released on March 16.
