Troelson also composed the mini-album’s fourth song, “Piano”.
As well as this, German-based producers Hitimpulse are responsible for the mini-album third song, “Lie”, which also features Chungha. The four-member team do not have an extensive kpop discography. However, the team worked on Jonghyun’s “White T-Shirt” in 2016.
Also listed in the credits for “Lie” is Icelandic singer Alma Goodman. The singer previously worked on Dua Lipa’s “Future Nostalgia”.
The other notable composer credited is Isabella Summers, who worked on the mini-album’s final track, “No Tomorrow”. Summers is an English musician, singer, songwriter, producer and remixer.
