Hurricane", the next single, was produced and written by record producers Marco and Jun Da-woon.
The final single, "Badman" was written and produced by Kang Ji-won and Kim Ki-bum.
Member Yongguk confirmed his part in writing the song: "I thought it was unfortunate that you always hear about criminals every time you turn on the news, making society feel scary and unsafe. I wanted to bring awareness. I feel that there are so many big issues that we should not forget about yet we forget them so easily. I felt that no one else would convey these messages about society if we didn't do it...".
