The single consists of one new song, "Milestone", and two previously released songs: "I See Me" and "Meri Kuri ~Best & USA Version~". BoA stated that "Meri Kuri ~Best & USA Version~" was also included because the release was around Christmas time. "I See Me", however, had previously been unreleased.
