During the online press conference held by Treasure for the release of The First Step: Treasure Effect, the group described "My Treasure" as "a song carrying the message that we are all treasure-like beings. The intro piano melody and brass sounds create a harmony, making a cheerful mood". Written and composed by AKMU's Lee Chan-hyuk, "Slow Motion" "calmly progresses while incorporating bass and piano, expressing the theme of let’s go through this harsh world together while holding hands, slow but steady". "Be with Me" is a song with "whispers saying you should be with me together", and "Orange" is a song with "a retro vibe that sounds familiar yet fresh".{{Cite web|last=|first=|title=TREASURE, "First Attempt on a Song with a Bright Mood… Our Goal is to Console"|url=https://yg-life.com/archives/164146?lang=en|url-status=live|access-date=2021-05-17|website=YG LIFE|language=en-US|archive-date=May 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210525230610/https://yg-life.com/archives/164146?lang=en}}
