It consists of twelve tracks, including five singles: "Animal Farm",^[1] "Motospeed 24", "Sweet Sorrow of Mother",^[2] "Bibi Vengeance", and "Jotto".

The album "tells the story of the fictional Oh Geum-ji–inspired by the protagonist in Park Chan-wook’s Lady Vengeance" against the dystopian backdrop of the year 2044.^[3] Oh Geum-ji was abandoned as a child and wants to be loved even though she is a bad bitch.^[4] "As pollution and scarcity ravage Seoul and people fight for control of an underground society à la Sin City, she rises from the depths of despair to become the queen of this lawless land."^[5]

Bibi tells a story that represents people with low social status.^[6] "The production mimics the record’s lyrical ferocity, offering an invigorating mix of sounds from dark pop ("Jotto"), futuristic EDM ("Blade"), pop-rock ("City Love"), Latin-inspired beats (“Bibi Vengeance”) and alternative R&B ("Animal Farm") to name a few."^[7]
