Put Up a Fight is said to be a pop-punk-meets-indie-rock inspired record which features LØREN’s switching it up between English and Korean. In press release, 88rising shares that the EP shows LØREN in his most "vulnerable" state, "flexing his songwriting muscles to tackle subjects including mental illness and isolation."

LØREN adds, "I've been looking forward to Put Up a Fight's release for a while now, and I'm thrilled to join forces with 88rising through the process. I'm a huge fan of their work, and I'm very happy to take part in their vision. It feels surreal to have SXSW, album release, and HITC New York ahead of me. To say I'm excited would be an understatement—I absolutely cannot wait for what's to come."
