This album contains total 5 songs including the lead single of the same album title. The first single of the album, "Gee" is a fast-tempo song about a girl who has fallen in love for the first time. The title is supposed to be an exclamation of surprise, similar to "어머나!" (Eomeona!, similar in meaning to "Oh, my goodness!", or, more similarly, "Gee!" in English). The song "Way to Go!" (Korean: 힘내!) is a new full version of Girls' Generation and TVXQ Samsung's Anycall Haptic Commercial digital single, "Haptic Motion", and an official music video was released featuring the making of music video "Gee". "Dear. Mom" was composed by Kim Tae Sung, while the lyrics were composed by his girlfriend singer Ivy, though she used the penname "The Lighthouse" in the album credits.
