"Got Nothing to Prove", one of the Deluxe edition bonus tracks, was initially recorded as a demo in 1966, but was not used due to lack of emotional resonance in the lyrics. "Sand" another early demo from 1966 is included on the Japan edition of the album as a bonus track. The album will be supported by the Who's 'Moving On!' Tour.

EXO and X-EXO battle it out in 'Obsession' which features 6 of the regular members including Suho, Chen, Sehun, Chanyeol, Baekhyun and Kai, with DO and Xiumin on military leave and Lay in China concentrating on his solo career. Each member finally explores their identities as individuals beyond EXO, after years of focusing solely on the collective well-being. But even with the focus on themselves, the group remains the focal point of EXO’s identity. “We came together, got very close, and without the passion that we had as a group I don’t think we would have made it as far as we have come,” Baekhyun told Billboard in a recent interview. Kai says he’s a workaholic, and Chanyeol says his competitive nature is almost an obsession. Baekhyun is obsessed with games, and Kai jokes that Sehun is obsessed with alcohol! Chanyeol loves EXO’s music and was proud to share: “When it comes to our music, I’m 100% confident that we release quality music,” adding: “It’s almost like we’re not following trends but we don’t fall back behind either.” He and Sehun took a completely new direction this summer, forming a Duo called EXP SC and releasing the very successful EP 'What a Life' in July which also debuted at #1 on the Worldwide iTunes album chart, the Gaon album chart in Korea and the global album chart. “Chanyeol says it was completely different from what EXO typically releases and a dramatic challenge which in the end turned out a winner! Chen says all the songs on 'Obsession' are worth the listen with his personal favorite being “Groove.” “I feel that there is a tendency that people just listen to the title track, but it would be really great if people can listen to the whole album because every song is really great.”
EXO are moving into a new era of their career, but they express a desire to always remain as one. “I hope that EXO is able to continue just the way it does right now, but beyond the group I hope that each individual member is able to find his own happiness,” Baekhyun says who also released a hugely successful solo mini album called 'City Lights' in July, which topped the worldwide iTunes Album chart, the Gaon album chart in Korea and the global album chart! Kai with Baekhyun, is also part of the hugely successful new group SuperM whose debut album, 'SuperM'
not only topped the global album chart but also landed at #1 on the Billboard 200, selling 168.000 equivalent units and breaking the record for the only Korean debut album to hit #1 in America. Kai said, contemplating on the next decade: “As time passes, like our members, our fans are going to start pursuing their own lives as well." adding: "As they fall into their own lives, when they suddenly have a thought of EXO, I hope that one thought that comes to their mind is, ‘It was a really good memory being their fan.’” Baekhyun agrees and hopes "whether individually or as a group, we continue to promote and that the name of EXO can continue to grow.”
