Composition

Composed by MZMC, Jack Wilson, Jordin Post, Luke Shipstad, Andrew Choi, Ginette Claudette, and Yesung, "Whatcha Doin'" was introduced an up-tempo pop song with groovy bass line and synth pad.[11] CNN Indonesia described the song as sweet pop song with a touch of R&B, and a chorus that is easy to sing-along.[12]

The lyrics were co-written by Yesung and Min Yeon-jae, expressing the feelings of being torn by someone who cannot be contacted.[10]

The song was arranged by Kuuro in the key of D major with the tempo of 99 beats per minute.[13]

Music video

The "sweet" music video featured turquoise, pale pink, and green colors to create an adorable impression. Chung Ha appears with oversized clothes as she waits a phone call from Yesung.[12]
