On April 23, 2017, it was announced that a repackaged version of the mini-album was released on April 27, 2017 under the title Love&Evil with three new tracks and remixed versions of "Love&Live ({{Lang|ko|지금, 좋아해}})" and "You and Me Together".{{Cite news|url=http://tenasia.hankyung.com/archives/1193279|title={{!}} 이달의 소녀 1/3, 리패키지 앨범 발매 확정…'상큼→시크' 변신텐아시아|date=April 24, 2017|work=텐아시아|access-date=April 24, 2017|language=ko-KR}} The remixes are only available on the physical CD.

The repackage version is self-described as "a [sic] inverted version of the album. As suggested by the word 'Evil,' which is a reversely-spelled word from 'Live,' which was planned beforehand during production, is filled with pain and worries in the process of love, in the opposite characteristics of the prior record." The booklet photo shoot was done in Prague, Czech Republic.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nowkpop.com/2017/05/08/check-out-loonas-teaser-for-their-love-evil-photoshoot-prague/|title=Check out Loona's teaser for their "Love & Evil" Photoshoot: "Prague" – NowKPop|last=Kezy|website=www.nowkpop.com|language=en-US|access-date=July 2, 2018}}

Loona self-describes the new songs of Love&Evil, "Love&Evil," "Sonatine," and "Rain 51db," as:

“Is love something sweet? Or is it something cruel?”

It might be a question too difficult for young girls to answer yet. The title track ‘Sonatine ({{Lang|ko|알 수 없는 비밀}})’ takes the encounters of love away towards the adolescence of the girls. While ‘Love&Live ({{Lang|ko|지금, 좋아해}})’ was a typical K-pop girl group track with lovely emotions, ‘Sonatine ({{Lang|ko|알 수 없는 비밀}})’ mesmerizes the audience with mystical melodies unexpected for a K-pop girl group.

The intro track ‘Love & Evil’ produced by SWEETCH materializes a girl who is lost alone in a dark forest. With the piano played in Accelerando, the girl runs away deeper into the forest.

The album continues with a newly released track, ‘Rain 51db ({{Lang|ko|비의 목소리 51db}})’ which is an homage to the first generation K-pop girl groups, S.E.S and Fin.K.L. It also shows their love towards themselves, trying to revitalize the sentiments of the golden era. Like ViVi’s previous attempt in ‘Everyday I Love You’, LOOΠΔ 1/3 time-travels back to the 90’s, with the question of “what if LOOΠΔ was created in the 90’s?”. They then raise their innocent and pure voices up as if ‘Rain 51db’ is the original soundtrack to an animation film with a storytelling, singing that they have “dreams that they do not wake up from.”
