Several songs on the album were described by Psy as parallels to several of his older works, including "Dance Jockey" with his 2003 hit "Champion"[5]and "I Remember You" with his 2012 track "What Would Have Been?".[6]Regarding the song "Dream", Psy said that he calledKim Jun-subecause he was inspired from his performances.[7]A tribute to the late Korean singerShin Hae-chul,the lyrics are based on "talks with him about philosophy and death while drinking with him" which he wondered if "maybe all our entire lives are a dream".[8]The profits from the song were donated to his family.[9]
