The first in a three-part EP series that will lead up to their second album, "Elephant in the room", scheduled for release in 2024, "cigarro" is inspired by the seedworms found in cigarettes. The EP is a collection of hyperpop, house, and other genre-crossing tracks that represent the primal roots of qwert's career. The members are bilingual rappers, and their use of different languages in the name of "expression" is a breath of fresh air in the Japanese hip-hop scene. The philosophical concept of each song is sublimated into qwert's style, and each song shows a different face.
