The album's lead track "愛的主場秀" (The Leading Role) is Luo's trademark dance track, for which the music video was filmed at the historic United Palace Theater, New York.[3] The second lead track "習慣就好" (I'll Get Used To It) is in the style of a rock ballad, as well as "為什麼要在一起" (Why Were We Together) which has a jazz feel.

The tracks "愛瘋頭" (Head Over Heels) is the opening theme song; "生理時鐘" (Biological Clock), "愛不單行" (You Won't Be Alone) and "In Your Eyes" featuring Rainie Yang are insert songs of Taiwanese drama Hi My Sweetheart, starring Luo and Yang.
