Composition

You Had Me at Hello consists of a total of seven tracks. The opening track, "Solar Power", is a hip-hop song featuring strong bass and swirling electric guitars. Lyrically, it reflects the narrative that Zerobaseone became a brighter team thanks to meeting the fateful you. The second track and lead single, "Feel the Pop", is an addictive pop song that mixes various rhythms such as D&B, UK garage, and Jersey club. The lyrics expresses the will to present the best time so that the hesitations, worries, and concerns that all young people face can be forgotten and blown away. The third track, "Dear Eclipse", is an R&B song made by sampling the piano riff of the lead single. Lyrically, it melts the emotions of the members who have matured on the border between day and night. The fourth track and first single, "Sweat", is dance song in the exhilarating house genre with synth melodies and R&B vocals. The lyrics is about this moment when I can't think of anything because I'm focused on dancing with you. The fifth track, "Sunday Ride", is a light and cheerful medium tempo song and expresses the desire to escape from everyday life and go on a trip somewhere. The sixth track, "Hello", is an emotional ballad song with a sweet melody flowing over a lyrical acoustic guitar melody. It contains ZB1's feelings toward their fans and was written by Young K from Day6. The closing track is the speed up version of the lead single.[13] [14]
