Composition[]
The title track "OFF ROAD" is written by the band's maknae Giuk and expresses his heart's desire to go on a vacation with his ONEWE hyungs.[4] The song is the band's first collaboration with foreign composers since debut.[5] The original demo was a pop song, described as understated and subtle with an acoustic and light vibe, which members Kang Hyun and Harin then worked together to rearrange into a rock song with a powerful band sound in ONEWE's own style.[4]
"Solar Halo Ring", written by Giuk and composed by Giuk and Kang Hyun, is described as a summer love song with a glorious band sound.[5] Giuk's friends Aden (credited as BYDOR ARCHIVE) and Gray Dot also participated in the writing and production of the song. The song is inspired by the beauty of a solar halo which Giuk expressed to be more valuable than a diamond ring, with lyrics imagining a proposal by the sea illuminated by the solar halo ring.[4]
"A piece of You" is written and composed by member Yong Hoon, with Giuk also participating in the lyrics, and confesses an infinite affection for one's only love with a refreshing vintage retro sound.[5]
