Background and development

After the release of

Van Gogh
's spirit, Sun hoped to encourage her audience to be brave in everything they do.

"A State of Bliss" was the fastest recorded song in the album. On first listen to the demo, Sun was overwhelmed by the atmosphere of the song. The contrast between the calmness of the song and the absolute loneliness of its title, "I'm Happy", was so striking that Sun chose to include it as the album's key lyric.[4] Lyricist Jufang created "Windbreaker", inspired by the idea that "things are objects, not love".[5] The album originally included "The Last Part Goodbye", but it was dropped because it didn't fit the theme of the album.[6] The last song in the album is "Immense Beauty". As the album was approaching its due date, the production team had not yet found a suitable song to close the album, so Sun decided to write the lyrics herself and produced "Extremely Beautiful" in 3 days of seclusion.[7]
