The nine tracks of various genres including alternative rock, pop, R&B, and hiphop in the album clearly reveal (G)I-DLE's free spirited and fierce color, foreshadowing the birth of another hit album. The producing abilities of (G)I-DLE, who participated in the songwriting process of all tracks including the title track 'TOMBOY,' are also enough to attract global fans' attention.

The title track "TOMBOY" fully reveals (G)I-DLE's unique confident attitude. The straightforward lyrics like “I'm not a doll” and “Just me I-DLE” remind the listeners of uncontrollable eccentric characters and express daring charms. In addition, the hook, which combines (G)I-DLE's unique voice with rough and magnificent instrumental sounds, and the addictive variation section that plays when the mood heightens are also elements to look forward to.

The three visual concepts herald various emotions by capturing (G)I-DLE's mature facial expressions and visuals, consisting of the breathtaking noir style "RiSKY," the relaxed and cool revenge squad concept "CHiLL," and "SPOiLED," which expresses the unruly but irresistible protagonist. Moreover, the music video depicts the rebellious and bold heroine who won't let anything hurt herself rather than the cliché story of a heroine who sheds tears for love, leaving a lingering impression much like that comes from watching a tense noir film.
