“LO$ER=LO♡ER” is the album’s lead single. Yeonjun participated in creating the song and wrote the single’s rap.
According to a press release:
“‘LO$ER=LO♡ER’ (read ‘loser lover’), is a catchy emo pop punk track that expresses a real-world ‘loser’s’ desire to be a hero and ‘lover’ to his one-and-only. The song’s title is a creative representation of modern desires; the boy yearns not only to change his circumstances and a heroic lover for ‘you,’ but also seeks riches that will fund your joint rescue from the crutches of this materialistic world. Through its catchy melodies, the song provides a Gen Z perspective on the realities of the world.”
