The EP's title My has a dual meaning, with it also referring to Miyeon's initials.[5]
The first song on the album, "Rose", refers directly to Miyeon's name as the syllable "Mi" refers to roses.[6] The lead single "Drive" is a rock song about people struggling in difficult situations or facing problems that are hard to handle. Miyeon described it as a song that tells people to keep moving forward.[7] The third track, "Softly" is a R&B song; "Te Amo" follows, which focuses on falling in love. "Charging" is a ballad that features singer Junny.[8] Miyeon stated that the last song, "Rain" (소나기), reminds her of her childhood when she spent hours watching drama shows. She also wrote the lyrics of the track, and bandmate Yuqi participated in its composition.[9]
