Background and development
In a press conference, ShowBT CEO Robin Geong discussed to inform the media for what's in store for SB19 in 2020. One of the events that was scheduled was the group's debut album release. The music production for SB19's first full album has come to completion and was originally planned to be released in March 2020. Most of the songs were written before the release of "Go Up", but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they need to find time when to drop it.

The album is an incorporation of all the things that the group has experienced during their trainee days which they "put all the emotions that they went through into their music" and hoped that they got to inspire people with their story. Lyrically, the album speaks of the creative and personal journey of the group which reflected on the different emotions showed in the tracks—happiness, hopefulness, inspiration, sadness, and sorrow. The members of the group were mainly involved in the process of making the album, writing, composing, and collaborating with their producers in South Korea, through their agency ShowBT. Pablo takes the credit for writing the lyrics of all the tracks in the album except for "Go Up" which was written by all of the members.""
