The title track 'Famous' features a heavy synthesizer bass and guitar, combined with fast-paced rap and melody. The lyrics convey the confidence and aspirations of those who are 'not famous yet but already being noticed.'
The double title 'Wicked' is an experimental track that combines elements of Brazilian funk, trap, R&B, and drill, featuring the members' unique raps.
'Famous' reached 4th place on the Melon ‘TOP100’ chart, and 'Wicked' topped the YouTube Trending Videos shortly after the performance video was released.
Additionally, 'Famous' and 'Wicked' have both claimed the 1st and 2nd spots on QQ Music's trending chart, the largest music site in China, creating a sensation right from their debut.

The three female, two male member composition is a fresh approach that existing K-pop teams rarely attempt. Furthermore, the majority of the members' main positions being rap, their distinct personalities, and the pair choreography that utilizes the advantages of a mixed group provide a unique charm.

Ahead of Annie's debut, there were indeed negative perceptions questioning whether it was “the hobby of a fourth-generation conglomerate.” However, after the debut song was released, reactions such as “there's definitely a unique flavor to this mixed group,” “a sophisticated and charming villain group,” and “it feels like solo artists are collaborating, and it’s harmonious” have followed.
Annie revealed in a debut documentary that she chose the path of a singer despite her family's opposition. She stated, “People will think I’m not serious about this path and will have many doubts,” adding, “I believe I need to show more to prove how earnest I am about this dream.”
As the first 'conglomerate idol' in Korea, attention is focused on whether Annie can write a new history for mixed groups in the K-pop scene.
