Composition
Tamar Herman of Billboard described "Lullaby" as follows: "A funky house and synth-pop hybrid, the track bounces around between groovy verses before exploding with its bass-heavy chorus, creating a modern-day "Lullaby" as the group’s vocalists let loose with soaring belts, especially Youngjae, Jinyoung and JB."

Music videos of Jackson, BamBam, Youngjae, Jinyoung, Yugyeom, JB and Mark's solo songs were released on a daily basis at 6PM (KST) from September 7 to September 13, 2018. The teaser video of "Lullaby" was released a few hours before Mark's music video.
