The title song 'Forgive Me' is a hip-hop dance song with a strong electric guitar sound, and the lyrics and charming low-pitched vocals harmonize well with the lyrics. The second track 'Zip' is a pop dance genre song with groovy guitar and vocals with R&B funk, and the lyrics contain a merciless warning message to a lover who caused an irreversible relationship.
The third track 'Sketch' it's BoA's self-composed song, and it is a new wave-based pop genre song with 90's synth pluck sound, funky guitar and rhythm. The fourth track 'Breathe' is a hybrid electronica sound created by a rhythmic drum and bass line, and the dynamic and beat-like melody line dramatically depicts the moment when they get close enough to feel each other's heated breathing.
The fifth track 'After Midnight' is an acoustic pop song that stands out with the warm melody of an acoustic guitar and the emotional charm of BoA's vocals. In the lyrics, the long-time unchanging warm gaze and support are compared to the dream-like time of the deep night, expressing the desire to be with the fans in the future.

Finally, the sixth track 'Hope' is an acoustic ballad song, expressing love and gratitude to family, lovers, and friends who always stand by their side in a tiring life with warm and delicate vocals. | ”

이번 앨범에 수록된 ‘ZIP (짓)’은 알앤비 펑크가 가미된 그루비한 기타와 보컬이 돋보이는 팝 댄스 장르 곡으로, 가사에는 되돌릴 수 없는 관계의 말로를 야기한 연인에게 보내는 자비 없는 경고 메시지를 담았다.
보아의 자작곡 '스케치'는 90년대 신스 플럭 사운드, 펑키한 기타와 리듬이 돋보이는 뉴 웨이브 기반의 팝 장르 곡으로, 사랑이라는 감정을 담백하고 섬세하게 표현한 보아의 보컬이 돋보인다.
또 다른 수록곡 ‘Breathe’(브리드)는 리듬감 넘치는 드럼과 베이스 라인이 만들어내는 하이브리드 일렉트로니카 사운드의 곡으로, 다이내믹하고 비트감 있는 멜로디 라인이 서로의 뜨거워진 호흡이 느껴질 만큼 가까워진 순간을 드라마틱하게 그려냈다.
이번 앨범에 수록된 '애프터 미드나이트'는 어쿠스틱 기타의 포근한 선율과 보아의 감성적인 보컬 매력이 돋보이는 어쿠스틱 팝 곡이다. 가사에는 오랜 시간 변치 않는 따뜻한 시선과 응원을 깊은 밤의 꿈같은 시간에 빗대어 표현, 앞으로도 팬들과 함께 하겠다는 마음을 담았다.

또한 '호프'는 어쿠스틱 발라드 곡으로, 지친 삶 속에서 언제나 곁을 지켜주는 가족, 연인, 친구에게 고마움과 사랑을 따뜻하고 섬세한 보컬로 녹여냈다. | ”
