The album consists of six tracks, which are used as original soundtracks (OST) for the six episodes of the docuseries. Each song is attached to an episode and underscores the story behind it and J-Hope's journey.
The six-part series shows J-Hope traveling through New York, Paris, Osaka, Seoul, and J-hope's birthplace of Gwangju, South Korea. It showcases the K-pop star's passion for dance and explores the art form in several locations worldwide.
