Junkyu revealed in an interview with The Dong-a Ilbo that "Move" is meant to be "groovy" and "full of energy", albeit not overly intense nor too relaxed.[14] It is composed in the key of B Major, with the tempo of 95 beats per minute.[15]

The lyrics of the song was entirely penned by Junkyu himself. Jihoon introduced the song as a "different picture" of Treasure, while Doyoung added that the song highlighted the members' charm and stated that he discovered a new side of him through the song.[16]
