Taemin envisioned the series as a "cinematic story," comparing the split parts to a picture and its sequels that tin stand lonely but class a complete narrative when brought together.^[xi]

According to Taemin, "Human activity i is about rebelling against the ordinary and the process of finding a new ego."^[xi] Lead single "Criminal" is a synthwave song with newtro sounds and a Stockholm syndrome theme.^[12] "Black Rose" features rapper Child Milli, and combines dark and colourful keyboard sounds with lyrics referencing a solar eclipse.^[13] "Strangers" is a dark popular song with an oriental melody. It describes the moment of coming together a past lover by chance and pretending to be strangers.^[12] "Waiting For" is a medium tempo dance rail featuring a violin melody and Castilian guitar adlibs.^[12] "Famous" expresses the conflict between the creative person's onstage and offstage persona.^[12] "Clockwork" is a pop ballad that recalls memories of a former lover past incorporating the ticking sound of a clock.^[13] "Just Me And You" is an R&B popular vocal with a retro tape source, whispering vocals and heavy drum beats.^[12] R&B song "Nemo" makes use of rhythmic guitars and evokes a 90s sensibility.^[13] The concluding song on the anthology is prologue single "ii Kids", and includes lyrics written by Taemin concerning painful memories of love equally a kid.

"Idea" is inspired by Plato'due south theory of forms and the allegory of the cave.
