Composition

"Polar Star" was written and composed by Hiroki Horiko. "Fallin' for You" was written by Lee Jae-jin and Kenn Kato, and composed by Lee. "Beautiful World" was written by Kato and composed by Choi Jong-hoon.[1]

"Polar Star" was classified as a medium-tempo rock song that describes a love that never changes, similar to how the location of a pole star never changes.[2][3] "Fallin' for You" is an acoustic rock song that "depicts a man who isn't able to get close to the woman he loves".[3][4] Lee was inspired to write the melody from playing his acoustic guitar.[4] "Beautiful World" is a rock ballad that incorporates the use of a piano, which was described as having a sound not previously heard from F.T. Island.[2] Choi composed the melody while thinking of the lyrics, which describe how "a man looks on at his lovely lover".[4]

"Polar Star" was released on November 28, 2012, in three editions: a CD-only edition which includes one of seven random trading cards;[5] a limited edition A which includes the music video of the song and a special feature, and multi-angle performance footage of "Neverland" and "Stay" at the F.T. Island Summer Tour 2012: Run! Run!
