Regarding the lyrical content, Cantrell said he wrote "Brother" about his relationship with his younger brother.<ref name="linernotes">Liner notes, ''[[Music Bank (album)|Music Bank]]'' box set. 1999.</ref> The song specifically refers to the period after Cantrell's parents divorced, when his younger brother went off to live with his father while he stayed with his mother, and Cantrell said that the song "was a way of trying to build a bridge."<ref name="linernotes"/> Commenting on "[[Got Me Wrong]]", Cantrell said he wrote the song about a relationship where one person thinks he or she can change the other person, and added that the song speaks of "the different ways that men and women see each other."<ref name="linernotes"/>

A version of the song "[[Rooster (song)|Rooster]]" was recorded during the sessions for ''Sap'' and was to be included on the EP, but the band then decided to use the song on their second full-length album instead.<ref name="classic rock"/> This version is featured on the band's 1999 box set ''[[Music Bank (album)|Music Bank]]''.

The hidden track, "Love Song", described by Cantrell as "the most bizarre song we've ever recorded", was Kinney's idea. All four members switched instruments for the recording, with Kinney on lead vocals and piano, Starr on guitar, Cantrell on bass, and Staley on drums.<ref name="GW92"/>
