For the lead track titled “Anbu,” meaning “How are you” or “Regards” in English, Lee Sun-hee collaborated with EXO member Chanyeol to write and sing the rap part of the song.

According to Lee Sun-hee's label, Hook Entertainment, the track was made to bring comfort to the singer's fans following the global crisis of the coronavirus pandemic.

The ballad features reassuring lyrics like “How are you today? Did you have a good night? There are so many problems in your daily life. I was worried about you.

“Good days have no problems, trivial days are okay. Just take a deep breath and don't bother about that. Don't worry because there is nothing to worry about.

“How are you today? I was worried about you.”

To complement the track, the three-minute video highlights everyday scenes of city life that may seem mundane for some but when looked closely are precious memories for the parties involved.
