Meanwhile, G-Dragon had already heightened the anticipation for his first solo track release in seven years since the release of 'Kwon Ji Yong' in 2017. G-Dragon released an extensive preview of the track "POWER" on the latest episode of 'You Quiz on the Block' and explained the message encompassed in the song.

G-Dragon explained that the track "POWER" is about the power each person has individually and shared, "The power I have is music. When looking at things from the third-person perspective during my seven years of hiatus, I realized the media has a lot of power these days. So I wanted to express that in a satire of some sort."
