## Background

On March 22, Itzy released the first poster for their upcoming album, *Guess Who*. This was posted alongside pre-order information and a preview of the album content. JYP Entertainment said in a statement that the upcoming release will feature a sound that "come as a surprise for their fans". The label added that the group "would come up with offbeat dance moves and styling to showcase something different this time". On April 12, 2021, the group unveiled the track listing to the EP on the group's official SNS accounts and website, revealing "Mafia in the Morning" as the lead single. On the next day, the night version of a group teaser was revealed. The next group teaser was released on April 14. Starting from April 15, a series of teasers were posted everyday for the group's official social media. On April 25, ITZY released the highlight medley for their album. The first music video teaser for "In the Morning" was released on April 26. On the next day, the second music video teaser for the song was published. On April 28, the third music video teaser for the lead single was published.

## Composition

The standard edition of *GUESS WHO* is slightly under nineteen minutes long. The album features six songs which incorporate elements from country strings to lo-fi rhythms, and showcase the band's vocal skills. "In the Morning" was co-written and -produced by JYP Entertainment founder Park Jin-young, who had previously worked on two of the group's hit singles, "ICY" and "Not Shy". Other producers featured on the record include hitmakers Earattack, who worked with GOT7, and frequent Kang Daniel collaborator JQ. During a press event for the EP, the members shared that the title of *Guess Who* refers to how they show different emotions and personas in the songs while exploring their musicality.

### Songs

Inspired by the popular game Mafia, "In the Morning" is a "powerful" hip hop track with an "addictive" dance-trap composition, heightening the track's core concepts of ambiguity and suspense. The track's chorus sees the group explore various vocal styles backed by a "trippy" synth. Lyrically, the song is about secretly stealing someone's heart. The second song, "Sorry Not Sorry" is a "playful" and "laidback" track with a bouncy rock-inflected production that "highlights the title's devil-may-care attitude". "Kidding Me", the third song, is an EDM song with a strong hip-hop beat and direct warning about demanding to be taken more seriously. The song features trap drums and a "compelling" dance break. The fourth song, "Wild Wild West" is a track with guitar loops and a sound reminiscent of western American music. The song addresses a dangerous, unexpected attraction. With the track, Itzy warns others that they are rough like a cactus in the desert. Sofiana Ramli from NME described it as "a fun epilogue to their rodeo-themed Not Shy". The fifth track, "Shoot!" is a "boss-like" bossa nova and Latin trap song about slowly luring people into a lovestruck spell. It employs a "futuristic" sound with a variety of musical instruments. The closing track, "Tennis (0:0)" is a soft medium dance-pop and bubblegum pop track. The song combines the five members' "sweet" voices with ordinary instruments such as an acoustic guitar and analog drum beats. The track's title and lyrics refer to a game of tennis and how it ends with a score of 0:0, symbolizing that at the end it is "all about love and not winning fights". In an interview with NME Ryujin revealed that she was inspired by Selena Gomez's "Bad Liar" while recording "Tennis".
