The standard tracklist contains 13 core tracks, with the deluxe release adding three critical cuts from the 2012, 2013 era. Unlike typical demo collections, these tracks represent fully realized arrangements mixed for commercial distribution.

Track Title Key Producers & Writers Production Origin ISRC / Master Status
"Drum" MNEK, Buena, Buchanan, Donaghy 2012 Metropolis Studios Official Master (Standard)
"Flatline" Devonté Hynes, MKS 2013 Santa Monica Sessions Re-acquired Polydor Master

"Today" Gethin Pearson, MKS 2013 London Writing Camp Official Master (Standard)
"Back in the Day" Richard Stannard, MKS 2012 Biffco Sessions Deluxe Bonus Cut

"Flatline" serves as the sonic cornerstone of this batch. Built around Dev Hynes' signature clean guitar motifs and expansive, syncopated basslines, the track demonstrates how far the trio pushed their vocal counterpoint beyond early-2000s commercial bubblegum pop. On "Today," the harmonies showcase Donaghy's ethereal upper register anchoring Buchanan's midrange belts, resolving the demo inconsistencies that plagued earlier bootleg leaks.
