The third track Where Are You Now has been sung by Mishra, and is a nostalgic song about friendship and the memories associated with it. It has soft overtures in its tone, with hazy background score and reverb effects, taking the audience on a trip of emotional memories and nostalgia.

The fourth track Happy Without You is an epic song, which has been sung by Mishra and Seraphine. It is full of sweeping vocals and loud musical effects. It has psychedelic, grunge instrumentals, cinematic scores and heroic themes.

The fifth track of the album, Livin' My Life is a track full of sultry R&B, smooth beats and seductive vocals bringing out late-night vibes and joyful treatment towards life.
