Background and release
On March 5, 2024, SM announced that Riize would embark on the Riizing Day tour in May, and that the group would be releasing a new singles and EP sometime between April and June 2024.[1]
On April 3, 2024, SM announced that Riize would be releasing their first EP in June 2024.

Composition
"Impossible" was written and composed by David Wilson, James Abrahart, and Dewain Whitmore Jr., with Wilson handling arrangement, and Hwang Yu-bin of songwriting collective XYXX contributing Korean-language lyrics.[6]
The song is a house dance which stands out with its rhythmic house beats and mysterious synthesizer. The lyrics contain the message that even if everyone thinks it is impossible, the moment they move forward together toward the same dream, the impossible becomes possible, and that there is no longer anything impossible.[7]
