Tanu I. Raj of NME stated that "We Need Love played safe leaving much to be desired as a whole" as the single album "is missing the experimental streak STAYC have become synonymous with [and] the complexity in the story they [have] build". Overall, he stated that "We Need Love is a fitting summer album in the sense that the memories won't linger till the next [season]".[7]
Prior to the single album's release, STAYC held a live showcase to introduce the single album and communicate with their fans.[8]
All lyrics are written by Black Eyed Pilseung and Jeon Goon
