Style[edit]

In this album, Mok experimented with rock genres, such as grunge/post-grunge, alternative rock, alternative pop and pop rock. "天下大同" (Tiān Xià Dà Tóng, "Same World") was an urban-influenced pop rock track. "24 hrs" was a violin-driven alternative rock song about a love-hate relationship with prominent use of grunge-like electric guitar chords during the chorus and acoustic guitar during the verses. It is a cover of the song "24" by Jem. "Shou" is a hard rock/hard pop song inspired by rock and roll. "Fire" is an acoustic pop-rock song.
