For the NCT 2020 album, each fixed NCT unit released a unit song in their own style, expressing one material called "dance": "Music, Dance" for NCT 127, "무대로 (Déjà Vu; 舞代路)" for NCT Dream and "月之迷 (Nectar)" for WayV.
Despite it being marketed to express dance, the song originally did not have a choreography since it was not meant to be promoted, unlike "무대로 (Déjà Vu; 舞代路)" which marked the official 7-member non-rotational lineup of NCT Dream. However, the song proved to be a hit, and choreography and performance were created by the time NCT RESONANCE Pt.2 was released.
The performance of the song was first unveiled in the concert Beyond LIVE: NCT - RESONANCE Global Wave held at the end of 2020, and was released publicly on March 10, 2021 during WayV ONLINE SHOWCASE 'Kick Back’.
"月之迷 (Nectar)" is a song with a strong atmosphere that mixes hip-hop-like drums, addictive 808 bass, and sensuous synth sounds. The Chinese lyrics of "dancing together underneath the same moon" present a cool charm.
Lucas and Xiaojun described WayV's song, "月之迷 (Nectar)" as "sexy." Describing the recording process, Xiaojun explained that they "wanted to use that feeling — like bad boys with this very special juice."

Yeah, gimme that nectar
逃离朦胧夜晚之中 孤独的干渴
Gimme that nectar
Gimme that, gimme that, gimme that (Whoo!)
Gimme that nectar
拨开乌云的一刹 看清我心中的月
