"Stupid in Love" is written by Kim Do-hoon and Min Yeon-jae. The song features Mad Clown's rap skills and Soyou's vocals, the song telling a love story. Mad Clown's raps are reasons why the two should break up and why he believes that this is what she wants and what he thinks will be best for her. This is intertwined with Soyou's vocals asking why he is unable to understand her, and why he misreads her words and actions; that the angry words between them were said not out of a desire to part from him, but out of a desire to be held and loved by him.

Credits and personnel
editParody
editThe song is used as a recurring gag in the "God of Hip Hop" element of KBS sketch show Gag Concert, with comedians Kim Kiri and Park Bomi respectively taking the rap and vocal roles. Kim Kiri plays the straight man of the duo, his raps are various reasons why the couple should part, Bomi's vocal sections deny that her heart has changed and explains each of Kiri's observations with a twist, for example when accused of having a photograph of another man in her house, she explains that it was her before she had cosmetic surgery.
