The EP was released with a total of four different versions (I / II / III / IV).

Critical reception

"Jealousy" was praised for its fresh sound as "a poppy dance track swelling with obnoxious synths and their favorite low brasses", supposed as noted by Taylor Glasby of Dazed, it returned to more of Monsta X's earlier style of "heavy EDM and trap singles" than their last single "Dramarama".[2]
