Released as part of the group’s evolving discography under WM Entertainment, the song blends playful rhythms with a subtle sense of urgency, mirroring the emotional countdown implied by its title. Built on a crisp, rhythmic foundation crafted by composers Victor Carl, Sebastian Anton Atasd, and SING, 《Tic Toc》 highlights OH MY GIRL’s signature balance between innocence and emotional depth. Lyricist Seo Jeong-a frames the story around waiting, mixed signals, and the pressure of time slipping away, while the polished arrangement by Victor Carl and Sebastian Anton Atasd keeps the tension light, catchy, and irresistibly relatable.

The song captures the restless tension of waiting for an answer that never comes, where time keeps ticking louder than words. It portrays the anxiety of mixed signals, unfinished confessions, and emotional hesitation, turning love into a race against time. At its core, it reflects the frustration of caring too much while being stuck in uncertainty, balancing impatience with lingering hope and quiet doubt.
