During the event, they shared various stories about the album.

On this day, Billlie shared their excitement about IU's participation in writing the lyrics for one of their double title tracks, 'Memory Candy'. Moon Sua expressed, "We put a lot of effort into preparing this album. We worked hard to infuse more authenticity into the title track." She added, "IU has always been interested in Billlie, and this collaboration came to fruition through this opportunity. Each member is a fan, and we even covered IU's songs during our fan concert. Upon hearing the news, all the members were thrilled and motivated to work even harder. It felt like a dream."

Haram shared about working with IU, "I have always respected IU, and she participated in writing lyrics and narrating the music video teaser." She continued, "Even before debuting, I listened to IU's music and auditioned with her songs. We also covered her songs through various content. She is a role model for all of us. We are so happy to make a comeback with a song we collaborated on with her."

Tsuki added, "I heard that 'Memory Candy' was created with IU thinking about her fans and Billlie. It conveys the message, 'Let's move forward together no matter what challenges come our way.' It's such an honor. We practiced hard while keeping this message in mind."

Siyoon also mentioned, "When IU wrote the lyrics, she said it was about Billlie and our fans. It felt like the perfect meaningful promise to make with our fans, so we recorded it with great care."
