The album incorporates such diverse genres such as classic pop, soul, and jazz. With this album, Joo hopes to gain more respect as an artist, rather than being known as "Fly to the Sky without Fany". He describes the reason for the solo album as, "First of all, I just wanted to do it. I also wanted to show that I could [be successful] as Brian (sic). When (Fly to the Sky) sang, many think Fany is the main vocal, and that I am the second vocal and a rapper. I won't mention his name, but one producer once said to Fany, "You are a really good singer", when he only said "Good job", to me. So I wanted to prove that I could do it too." Originally, the album was to be fully recorded in English.; due to lack of time, however, all tracks are in Korean, excluding the English track "All I Know". Joo performed his first single, "Gajima" (Don't Go), on Mnet Countdown on December 7. He released three songs from the album to music website Melon.com. Released on December 18th, the album debuted at #7 behind TVXQ and sold 15,376 copies in the first month. On Januar
