The DVD portion contained the dance version of "Yakusoku" and the behind-the-scenes footage of the photo shoot for the different single covers.[5] The limited Type C version contained the two standard tracks, the bonus track "Cross Over" (stylized as CROSS OVER) and the songs' corresponding instrumentals.[6]
