About the theme of "Sparkling Night" (Japanese ver.), PENTAGON Kino said, "The theme is 'The sparkling scenery that is seen from a ferris wheel on the seaside.' It was an idea that suddenly came to my mind. Unlike the songs PENTAGON has sung so far, I wanted to create a warmer atmosphere, including the rap."
When asked to introduce "Don't," PENTAGON Kino answered, "It is a song characterized by 'harmony of farewell, pain, and orchestral sound.' When I listened to the music of Japanese DJ Daishi Dance, I thought, 'I want to make a song like this once.' I researched a lot of vocal tones so that each voice would blend well with the a capella part."
