The last two tracks of the album are released to mark their 9th anniversary and are both dedicated to their fans. "Moments" is a pop ballad with a "dramatic" melody. "Everybody Ready?" is an uptempo dance-pop-style song produced by Jinhwan Kim. It features a funk-based rhythm, "clapping beats", "brass-horns" and "energetic vocals".
