A 1970s romantic soul song with a simple jazz rhythm, "Slow Dancing" was written by its producers Freekind and Jinsu Park, together with Donghyun Kim, Gigi, Cautious Clay, and Sam Gendel. Lyrically, V sings of a "typical love story", with "one lover pining over another singing words such as 'It shouldn't feel like this, hurts too much already."[2]
