"Ugly Beauty" has trap, hip hop, and drum & bass influences.[46] It is an uptempo dance song where Tsai responds positively to all the criticisms that were being said, with lyrics such as: "If you can't see my beauty, you must be blind."[47] "Hubby" is an upbeat dance song with heavy backing vocals to enhance the lively atmosphere. Tsai said: "I hope this song could be everybody's wedding march." "Womxnly" was inspired by the story of Yeh Yung-chih. It speaks about regardless of gender there is no established framework for gender identity, and Tsai has been constantly paid attention to human rights campaigns, including LGBT rights and same-sex marriage. Tsai said: "People do not have to live in the established framework of society, a boy has femininity doesn't necessarily mean a bad thing, and masculinity is not every boy desires to have." Musically, it merged the genres of tropical house and dancehall, featuring instrumentation from Southeast Asia's musical instruments.[48]

"Life Sucks" is a future bass song. Tsai used a lazy vocal timbre to speak about the negative aspect of one's personality, and she said: "This song talks about the things you don't want to do but have to face in life. We can only tell ourselves that the negativity will eventually leave us." "Lady in Red" was described as "a sense of ghost story", it contains pop sounds and mumble rap influences, and Tsai sings in a deeper tone. "Karma" is a reggaeton song talking about break-up and ex-lover, and Tsai described that the song accompanies the black humorous style of lyrics delivers the message of "living well is the best revenge". "Romance" is a ballad talking about the reality of modern love relationships. With its classic piano sound and electronic melody, Tsai sings over the tune consisting of gothic rock and urban R&B. Tsai said: "Sometimes romance is established, as all the fairy tales go, the princess and the prince get married and lead a happy life ever since, but nobody tells us what will happen after marriage."

"Sweet Guilty Pleasure" speaks about love game and incorporated bounce beats. Tsai said: "Knowing your body is also knowing your own desires, the society has to tell everybody such concept, so people will not hurt others due to curiosity." "Necessarily Evil" incorporated hardcore hip hop with trap and gothic rock styles, it also accompanies "devil's voices", shouting sounds, and synths. Tsai used a deeper vocal register to intone the lyrics to express sense of conflict between repression and emancipation, and the lyrics carry a message of being fearless of the evil in inner world. Tsai said: "I want to use this song to tell everybody it's horrible to enter into your inner world, but it will become not that evil when you're ready to face it." A 1960s inspired rock and roll and soul music formed the backbone of "Vulnerability", where Tsai sings about what should be the real courage in love relationships.[49] "Shadow Self" is a slow-paced alternative R&B song features the sounds that often appear in Tsai's dreams. Inspired by Carl Jung's psychological term "shadow", the song was written through live instruments and musical improvisation in the studio. Tsai said: "Dream is a spiritual journey of loneliness, and I believe in the words the subconscious wants to tell me."[50]
