The full album consists of four tracks including their title track “Step and a step” which was written, composed and arranged by JYP’s chief producer Park Jin-young. The song was pre-released on Nov. 25 and has already seen success on various Japanese music charts. The music video of another pre-debut song “Make You Happy,” which was also written and composed by Park, surpassed 170 million views after its release in June.
