Lyrics of 'romance' and Kian84's narration

'I'm Quitting My Job,' which Soyeon participated in writing and composing, captures the emotions of those deciding to resign. The lyrics include expressions of liberation such as, "I'm quitting, I have nothing to regret" and "I'll pack my things coolly, without looking back, goodbye everyone." In particular, through the phrase, "In the end, we will all become grandmothers, and looking back, today was a romantic day," the song delivers a message of remembering current choices as 'romance' in the future.

The video's atmosphere is perfected by the addition of Kian84's narration. The lyrics specifically list bucket list items dreamed of after resigning, such as traveling the world, becoming a novelist, and singing songs with peace of mind. Co-composed by Soyeon, Pop Time, Daily, and Likey, with Soyeon taking sole credit for the lyrics, this track once again showcases Soyeon's musical spectrum.
