On October 10,
AOA released a behind the scenes look at the making of the "Get Out" music video.
The booming, opening track "Get Out" is the title song from the single. It has an edgy rock sound featuring lead vocals from Choa. The upbeat nature of the song was intended to speak to "teenage hearts". "Get Out" appears in its "band version" on this release featuring more instrumentation than the "original version" released later to accompany their Japanese single, "
Miniskirt". The "original version" is more in line with their other releases at it features a more electro-pop sound. The second song, "Happy Ending" is a more mellow ballad. The catchy chorus and simplistic lyrics give the song a light and poppy feel, showcasing the girls cute and innocent side. The final track, "My Song", is a more uplifting and stylized record featuring full band instrumentation and vocal dominance from Choa once again. This single marked the last appearance of Youkyung in the full group before her departure in October 2016.
