My Name is Malguem carries a hopeful message about overcoming pain and moving forward.

Its upbeat yet sentimental melody is characteristic of QWER’s style. The song has also been praised for the collaboration with (G)I-DLE's Soyeon, who participated in writing, composing, and arranging, creating a special synergy with QWER.

‍My Name is Malguem ranked 2nd on Melon’s TOP100 and daily charts, topped YouTube Music’s weekly charts for two consecutive weeks, and reached No. 1 on Korea’s Top 100 Popular Songs.

This widespread success highlights how well QWER’s music resonates with the public.
