Taeyong: I tried to be more comfortable and relaxed throughout the process and just enjoy myself.Дoyoung: I hope our fans expect to see the very diverse sides of our group and a lot of new performances. Compared to the last time, I tried to focus on adding more melodies to the song. Mark: I think IвЂ™ve evolved and changed more than the actual process of my songwriting. Mark and Taeyong, how has your songwriting evolved from your last project to this one? I wrote my lyrics thinking about the stories of the main characters in those movies. Johnny: I drew a lot of inspiration from movies IвЂ™ve watched. And this time around, it was more of a team effort-rather than relying solely on my own creativity, I wrote my lyrics so they flowed well with Johnny and MarkвЂ™s rhyming and flow. Taeyong: I got inspiration from my own personal experiences and the overall atmosphere and subject of the song, and put those two together. I put a lot of thought into making sure the lyrics matched with the songs I was writing them for-and it was enjoyable because all the songs were so good! Mark: I found myself having a lot of fun. Haechan: I want to become our fansвЂ™ hero! Mark, Taeyong and Johnny, you all wrote вЂњPandoraвЂ™s BoxвЂќ and вЂњLove SongвЂќ for this album, while Mark and Taeyong co-wrote вЂњMad Dog.вЂќ What was the process of writing them like? What message do you hope fans take from this album as a whole?Дoyoung: I hope our music has the power to help heal any trauma our fans might have.
