Background[]
This album is about "my misconception of you", "the misconception of the world wrapped around me", and "the misconception of reality". The lyrics can be interpreted as the dreams, ideals, and visions of the world through SHINee's eyes.
The visuals of the albums were made with the help of up-and-coming talents rather than established artists and photographers. Min Hee Jin, Director of SM Entertainment's Visual and Art Directing department, stated that "the album jacket shows the fantasies of the members. It has the members' own images and the ideal types they look for."
Min Hee Jin also explained that the title track "Dream Girl" was not only about a girl, but also about the process of self-reflection that happens when looking for someone.
