The album is a collection of songs that express the emotions that hwamo felt while spending time with her loved ones, skillfully manipulating both Japanese and Korean to express them on top of the sound perfectly.
The delicate piano melody, which exudes warmth and sadness, is overlaid by a robust drums beat, and the result is a work that is uniquely hwamo, with a sense of respect for black music, which has greatly influenced hwamo.
