Even before its release, the album with two sets of the song had already made a record for making pre-stock orders by a female South Korean soloist. More than 400,000 albums were ordered ahead of its release globally.

Rosé sang the song in English, which is quite different from the other Korean language song that she has sung as a part of Blackpink. While describing her work experience, she said, that she thought writing an album in English would be easy and comfortable to listen to by her global fans.

Before launching the album, in a press conference Rosé said, "For each song, there's a language that goes with it. I thought hard about what language would help make the song more complete and thought English would fit the song."

She also described the meaning of the song on YouTube’s released saying "Basically the song is kind of about looking for answers in life, for a purpose in life, and I feel like people, especially these days, can relate to it. Sometimes when you’re always kind of on that roll, you kind of forget to take care of what actually matters to you most, and it’s just a song that says that everything we need is already within us. There’s no need to go out and look for it."
