Composition

Written by Teddy Park, Sunmi, Joe Rhee, and 24, the song was described as a "dancehall-style synth-pop number that rocks an Eastern-style atmosphere and a distinct rhythmic bass sound". It was co-produced by The Black Label, a subsidiary of YG Entertainment.[2]

The title is a shortening of the Korean phrase "gasinayo", which loosely translates to "leaving" in English. The word "Gashina" (가시나) is also used to address a girl in a disrespectful, but often playful manner.
