The number of reaction and dance cover videos, which had somewhat decreased during the previous two albums, increased again during this activity.

What was special about the dance challenge for this activity was that the male idols participated very enthusiastically. There was something about the dance moves that stimulated a sense of competition.

STAYC's signature sound became a part of the song this time. The members all wanted to do this part that shakes their emotions.

The track PIPE DOWN is a song telling haters to shut up. The songwriter asked the singer to put some anger into the song.

RADO PD called into the radio and said: * There is no singer like STAYC. I am lucky and happy to have met them. * STAYC can grow more, and they deserve to become very successful.

In early 2025, STAYC’s fans called for democracy in the streets, while STAYC had to promote a new single during a dark period for society. It was a comeback made in the midst of an economic crisis. One year later, South Korea’s KOSPI had risen by 100%.
