"Until now, the story was mostly about wolves who had been alone finding each other and growing together, but this time, it's about the wolf boys meeting one person," Harua said at the showcase. The title track is a pop song built on a restrained piano line that swells into a dramatic chorus. Five more tracks join it: "Good Boy", "Love Jang", "Accelerate", "Empty" and "Night to howl!" A run of milestones The Korea Times notes that April's Japanese EP We on Fire made &TEAM a million-seller for a third consecutive release.

The members also set themselves a goal for this promotion. "I want to win on 'Inkigayo,'" Jo said, adding that it would be moving to have member EJ, one of the show's hosts, announce the win. "This time, I want to leave an impression of a more mature, deeper appeal," EJ said.
