Composition
Love Pt. 3: Eternally consists of five tracks and as the last album in the group's Love trilogy, expresses a love that we should give to ourselves, rather than a love we give to others expressed in the previous albums. The lead single "Overdrive" is a song that combines a cool guitar sound with an exciting dance beat that expresses embarking on a journey at full speed and ultimately finding and loving oneself that resonates with the anxiety and worries of youth. The second track "Be Alright (chillin')" is a song with a Latin music groove with a guitar riff and moombahton beat that expresses a passionate mood when facing someone and looking into their eyes. The third track "Thriller" is a song with a heavy bass that expresses the thrill of falling for someone at an unknown depth. The fourth track "All Day With You" is a R&B song with a nostalgic 90s vibe along with a lofi hip hop groove. The fifth track "End Of The Day" is a song that brings warm and comforting emotions to someone who remembers the end of a hard day at work.[5]
