Composition


Drip contains nine tracks. The opening track "Clik Clak" is a minimalistic hip hop song over which all seven members rap with unique styles. The title track, "Drip", is a danceable hip hop track that was co-composed by BigBang member G-Dragon, and the third track, "Love, Maybe", is an intimate ballad with all the members singing over a stripped-back guitar instrumental. This is followed by "Really Like You", which has a '90s hip hop style and was co-written by Mino of Winner, and "Billionaire", which is an R&B song with heavy 808 bass and a Y2K vibe. The sixth track "Love in My Heart" is a lively dance pop track about not hiding feelings that have grown uncontrollably. The seventh track, "Woke Up in Tokyo", is a hip hop song with heavy bass, Japanese lyrics, and wordplay utilizing onomatopoeia, performed by the group's main rappers, Ruka and Asa. The pre-release single "Forever" is an upbeat synth-pop song with a bright summer vibe, and the album ends with a remix of "Batter Up" that was performed as an encore during their fanmeeting tour See You There (2024) as a bonus track.
