The guest artists featured in the songs, such as rappers CL and Zico, were planned to be "character actors," while Epik High occupied "director's chair" . The album includes two title songs, "Rosario" and "Based on a True Story." While "Rosario" was meant to be a confidence-inducing song about standing against haters, "Based on a True Story" was designed as a song to comfort lonesome listeners.
