The album "First Love" has a total of five tracks. Duble Sidekick, Seo Jaewoo, Playing Kid, Yanggang, and BTOB's Jung Il-hoon participated in the creation of album as producers and lyricist.[7] The album aims to represent CLC's undeniable charms.[8] The point choreography of the song was created by Rain.[9] At their debut showcase, the members revealed that all the proceeds of the album will be donated to children with developmental disabilities.[10]
