Background and composition
On August 19, 2020, SM Entertainment announced that Red Velvet would be the fourth runner for SM Station 'Our Beloved BoA'. "Milky Way" was originally recorded and released by BoA in 2003 from her third Korean studio album 'Atlantis Princess'. In addition, Wendy, who had a hiatus from group activities due to injury, participated in the song for the first time in about eight months.Musically, "Milky Way" is described as a combination of "colorful acappella and jazz scat with harmonious vocals". The song is composed in the key of A Major with a tempo of 98 beat-per-minute. The song was produced and written by Kenzie, who worked on the original song, and arranged the song himself to recreate it into a "fresh jazz pop" song. Lyrically, the song tells a story of unfolding a "dark night" with someone just like a "milky way".
