a lil background on all the songs! EW - back in ‘22 (during miito release) while in New York he told the company he wanted to stay in New York for a week and just work. after everyone went back to Korea, he stayed back and that’s when ‘ew’ was made. he feels like it’s the song that “opens”the album best explaining again the meaning of liking someone so much that you make them physically sick (hence the ‘ew’ and ‘shaking’) he thought about putting this song into psyche: red album but lyrics were not finished! DIABLO 341 - back in ‘25 (during no drugs tour) he was heavily inspired after visiting the colosseum in Roma! specifically mentioned the very grand and disheveled (?) feel that gave him inspiration. the tour ended in Roma so him and Artic stayed a bit and took some time to travel and work and that’s when ‘diablo 341’ was made! 후 (PUFF) - this year before the LATAM tour while going back and forth to Spain it was time to finish up the ‘shaking’ album but he was having trouble on what to do for a title song and while he was thinking, Artic asked him did he want to listen to something he was working on and it was the beat for 후 (puff)! cream usually writes lyrics in his notes while going about his day and as soon as he heard the beat, the lyrics he had previously written fit perfectly so he told Artic he was gonna use it! and he loved it so much he decided to make 후 (puff) the title! (just took poor artic song 😂) PEACH - back in ‘24 during reborn tour somewhere in asia (he thinks in Vietnam) him Artic and Hakase were in the room working together and that’s when ‘peach’ was made! FUEGO - he was working with fellow artist and friend Sik-k, when Sik-k showed him a beat and it was the beat to fuego! fellow producer Sein (세인) made the beat!! mentions that the beat uses the same synthesizer as Tr*vis Sc*tt song, ‘sicko mode’ but was remixed into a “fresh” way which he really liked so he pulled out his notes again and it worked well with what he had so he said he would take it! (again 😂) WARSAW - back in ‘24 during tour while exploring in Warsaw he was really really inspired by the atmosphere and beauty of the city. MADONNA - was made back in ‘24 during tour as well! 뻔하잖아 - was made while he was creating psyche: red and he was going to initially add it but was indecisive and the lyrics weren’t complete in time back then so he removed it and decided to add it to this album! FORGET-ME-NOT - also in ‘24 while in LA where it usually doesn’t rain much, he said it rained so much for days in a row that he felt lonely and he wanted to express the feeling of wanting to not be forgotten. he wrote this with Hakase! KISS/20 - he made the beat during reborn tour with Artic and Hakase and initially made it to give to another artist but this year while in Monterrey, they stayed in a really nice house in the mountains and while working on the album just before announcing it, this song made it’s way in! he feels a lot of attachment towards this song particularly because of that! S3XYMUSIC - this song is completely sampled but he cut and switched parts around. fun fact! through a friend he somehow was able to visit Michael Jackson’s former session musicians’ (TOTO) studio and one of the members (either Steve Porcaro or Dave Paich) was there and Cream played the beat for him. Cream asked him what he thought and he went “sexy music 👍” and walked out and that’s when Cream decided on the name ‘s3xymusic’ (pretty insane 😭!!) (2NITE) FREESTYLE - also made during reborn tour! he really loves this song and says if you really pay attention to the lyrics, they can have double meanings and he likes the play on the lyrics. says he wanted to show a ballad in his style- “dpr cream ballad” he also has a particular attachment to this song! ♥️
