The Chaos After You experiments with a variety musical styles such as EDM. According to Chou, "every song in the album is your emotional theme, and every song has their secret story to tell." "The Chas After You" conveys the idea that people experience pain, but if there is a turning point after the rain, happiness may emerge even in sorrow."Unbreakable Love" serves as the theme song for the TV series The Elfin's Golden Castle, adapted from Rao Xueman's novel. Chou, the show's male lead, was asked by Rao to create a theme song. After Chou recorded the melody on his phone, Rao wrote the song's lyrics within only a day. The duet "The Way You Make Me Feel" features Hsu Wei-ning. After hearing Hsu's voice, Chou found it sweet and appealing and invited her to collaborate on the song.
