About “illa illa,” B.I said, “I wrote the song wishing that it could provide comfort to those that listen to it. Everyone has their own struggles whether it be with relationships, work, family, loneliness. As much as it can seem difficult at the time, there is a beach in the distance. To remember that every chapter that closes just means that a new chapter is about to begin.”

B.I. collaborated with Lee Hi in the song “Daydream,” saying, “I wrote this song as a reminder of the dreams I used to have and feel. The feeling of waking up from a deep sleep and a sweet dream that seemed so real, covering up a cloudy and unfamiliar universe where I felt lost. Watching beautiful stars fall from the sky daily is how quickly a beautiful daydream can pass.”

The track “Re-birth” is B.I’s message to himself and to listeners about a new beginning.

“Waterfall” is B.I’s musical journey and appreciation of all the people who have helped and supported him along the way.
