Composition[edit]
According to Yuehua Entertainment, -77.82X-78.29 represents Everglow’s “powerful and intense charisma”, as compared to their previous works. The album is characterized by its bolder sound.[6]
The lead single, “La Di Da”, falls in the uptempo electropop and retro categories, and its lyrical content is a “warning” to the “haters who are pretending and full of dissatisfaction in [this] confusing era”.[6]
