Lyrics by 구성민 (ARTiffect), 방혜현, Noday
Composed by Rouno, Justin Reinstein, Morgan Kubes
Arranged by Rouno, Justin Reinstein
The title track “Motto” features a refreshing, trendy melody. Deep reverb effects blend with subtle, lingering pad synths to create a mysterious, multi-dimensional sound. Just like the confident lyrics “I’m not afraid of the ending” and “The nights of hesitation have passed, and I’ve found a clear light”, this song generates the momentum to move forward without hesitation and instills unstoppable courage. The music video also visually depicts the process of “me meeting myself” and “choosing oneself.”
