The quintet, consisting of Suin, Gowan, Anna, Narin, and Ella, showcased their transformation at a press event in Seoul, with Gowan describing the new sound using the initials DRR for different, real, and raw. Producer Teddy encouraged the members to direct each other during recording sessions and to smile freely on stage, helping them connect more authentically with the music in each other throughout.

Member Haruto described the shift as MZYG, blending the label's foundational hip-hop sound with the members' generational sensibilities, joking that fans should prepare milk because this album delivers spicy heat rather than their previous softer approach. The title track If I leads the album alongside tracks like Zoom Zoom and the explosive rap unit song Nanlina, featuring Choi Heo and Silk, Haruto and Yoshi, with the group launching their new wave tour on June 19th at Korea University.
