Composition

"Heart Burn" was composed and arranged by CobiCudi and Kyuwon 'Q' Kim.[1] Sunmi participated in writing lyric for both the title track and B-side track "Childhood". While having credit in music part for her B-side, Sunmi did not do it for the title song. In a showcase meeting, she explained that she wanted to see how other producers perceived her via composing this track.[2]

Sunmi considered "Heart Burn" to be the daytime version of her previous song "Pporappippam", which tells about love story in purple night. "Heart Burn" is described as a catchy dance and pop rock song, with an addictive melody that gives "mysterious yet energetic vibe".[3] B-side "Childhood" is also a city-pop-inspired song from the 2004 movie The Notebook and has the same vibe as her other tracks like "Black Pearl", "Faded Love".[4][5]

The music video was filmed at Los Angeles.[2] To show the atmosphere of the music video, Sunmi has dyed her hair orange and madeup some freckles on her cheeks. The choreography, makeup, and costumes of the song were simplified as much as possible, as to make the MV purer. The point choreography was inspired by the hula dance form.
