"Time for the Moon Night", written by No Joo-hwan and Lee Won-jong, is GFriend's first single not written by producer duo Iggy and Youngbae.[2]
Time for the Moon Night is more sentimental and dreamlike compared to GFriend's previous albums.[3] According to member Umji, the group wanted to "set a new direction toward producing thought-provoking and sentimental music".[4]
"Love Bug" is an upbeat song with a retro jazz sound, "Flower Garden" is retro synth-pop, and "Tik Tik" has a funky sound with Nu-disco beat. "Bye" is a pop ballad and "You Are My Star" is a sentimental song for GFriend's fans.[3][4]
After a seven-month break since the sextet's Summer Rain, GFriend officially returned with their 8th Mini Album: Time for the Moon Night, including their newest single in the same name on April 30, 2018. They release three versions of the album named: "Time Version", "Moon Version" and "Night Version".[5] At the same day, GFriend held a comeback showcase entitled Moon Light: Express 241 at Yes24 Live Hall at Gwangjin-gu. The group performed the lead single, "Time for the Moon Night" and the sidetrack "Love Bug" at the media showcase, which was simultaneously broadcast live via Naver's V-Live app.
