I have the One& version and I love the album cover, it takes me back to their Sunrise album, the photo book itself is really pretty and nostalgic too.
The album itself is really good and always makes me feel like DAY6 have been around for ever, and that I've been listening to them since my youth.

I love the melody for Everyday We Fight, it really sounds like something that would have been in their past albums and really fits with this album. I love how the melody starts out pretty mellow but then works up to a louder beat.
Everyday We Fight

I wouldn't say that You Make Me is one of my favourite title tracks, but there's something about it that makes you fall in love with it. Their vocals are no joke and they fit perfectly with the melody, I feel that you can hear their true and raw emotion in their vocals.
You Make Me

My foot automatically starts tapping to Healer, I love the melody and while sounding like something they've never released before, it still has that familiar DAY6 vibe.
Healer

I absolutely adore the chorus for 둘도 아닌 하나 (Only), the melody against their voices is just stunning. There's something about this song that I can't quite put my finger on, but I can't help but stop and listen.
둘도 아닌 하나 (Only)

구름 위에서 (Above the Clouds) is definitely one of my favourite songs on this album, the melody and their vocals gives me the feeling of strength, that anything is possible. I find it healing too, good or bad, you're who you are because of those who you have and have had in your life.
구름 위에서 (Above the Clouds)

For me 무적 (One) is another song that sounds nostalgic, it's full of their DAY6 vibe.
무적 (One)
day6 lyrics

I love the melody for 우리 앞으로 더 사랑하자 (So Let's Love) and their vocals are just stunning. My favourite DAY6 songs tend to be the more rockier sounding ones, but for me this one is juts on another level.
우리 앞으로 더 사랑하자 (So Let's Love)

While I feel bad to say that this isn't one of my favourite DAY6 albums, they always have a way to pull me in. Their vocals take each song and album to another level, there's something about each DAY6 album that as soon as I hear their voices, I feel a sense of comfort and familiarity, and while Jae's vocal will be missing in future releases, I don't think that feeling will change.

I can't wait to see DAY6 return, to see what they will bring us next on this new journey as 4.
