WWD describing the 'Antidote' music video His reflection is often distorted through mirrors and water at one point, he frantically sprints through a disorienting industrial space before emerging onto a rooftop to blue skies. In 'Antidote,' a silhouetted crowd aims yellow phone screens as he performs on stage. Konnect Entertainment noted that the storytelling in the video was connected to the previously released single 'Paranoia'. It was preceded by two teasers released on the same platform on April 7 and 12.

The music video for 'Antidote' was directed by Rigend Film and premiered on Konnect Entertainment's YouTube channel at 18:00 ( KST) on April 13, 2021. Lyrically, MTV News pointed out that the song highlights the hardship and heartaches Kang has experienced throughout his career and his desire for a magical cure-all that would make them all disappear when he sings 'I'm begging for the Antidote / Wipe my slate clean'. When asked how it connects to the pre-released single ' Paranoia' that was included in the same EP, Kang explained that 'if 'Paranoia' represents the period going from happy to sad, 'Antidote' represents the period from sad to happy'. In an interview with fashion-industry trade journal WWD, Kang revealed that he drew inspiration for the various tracks on Yellow from his personal experiences during a difficult period in his career and is credited as the main lyricist for lead single 'Antidote'. 'Antidote' is an alternative R&B song with rock elements that blends grunge guitar riffs with 808 beats. He expressed gratitude for the people around him who created 'a great sense of stability' in response to this and specifically noted his manager, Konnect Entertainment's company staff as a whole, and his dance team. With the single being inspired by Kang's personal experiences, he was asked what his antidote was during the difficult period he drew inspiration from.
