The song combines drum and bass elements with rock sounds, showcasing an emotional blend of piano melodies and energetic guitar riffs. Its heartfelt lyrics convey the message, "Even when apart, my heart is always with you, and I’ve finally returned to you."

PREZENT is described as a "gift-like album" prepared to thank their fans, ZEROs, following their remarkable success in dominating Japan’s major charts with their debut. The EP features six tracks in total, including four original Japanese songs and two Japanese versions of their Korean hits, showcasing ZEROBASEONE’s broad musical spectrum across various genres.
