Described as her "most comprehensive solo work yet", Amortage is said to mark the "rebirth of the global superstar". The EP features two Korean and two English songs and was described as "euphoric bubblegum pop" falling between Kylie Minogue and Carly Rae Jepsen. When creating the project, Jisoo stated she wanted to showcase "something dreamy yet pop-inspired" and selected music that created "synergy with the overall presentation" including the image, choreography, outfits, and concept. She decided to record "Your Love" and "Hugs & Kisses" in English as she thought their lyrics were "well-crafted to capture the mood of those songs" in that language and she "didn't want to break that atmosphere". Jisoo described it as a "collection of stories about love – the highs, the lows and everything in between." ==Promotion and release==
