Jang Wonyoung and HWANG YUBIN help write lyrics that pulse with midnight energy, while producer Trackside mixes whispery synths with a beat that feels like blinking neon signs.

XOXZ Lyrics Translation – IVE SECRET Soundtrack
Yujin sings demand after demand (‘Give me the X, give me the O’) against creeping strings. The lyrics blur romance with obsession, whispering promises like ‘I want everything that’s yours, and some more.’ Every honeyed threat (‘Don’t wake up’) becomes sweeter with Rei’s smoky delivery riding the tense melody.
