Music and lyrics

"Back for More" is a K-pop track, characterized by an engaging bassline and funk influences.[9][10] The lyrics explore the idea that, even in the everyday routine, magical and miraculous moments exist, with the reunion with a loved one being that special moment. Unlike Tomorrow X Together's previous disco songs, which featured a lively and vibrant atmosphere, this track stands out for its more sensual charm.[11][12][13]
