Everyone has talents that, if continuously honed, can create a boom like dynamite. It can be seen from the lyrics, “Life is sweet as honey... I'm diamond, you know I glow up. Hey, so let's go”.

Not much different from Dynamite, Ice Cream also wants to encourage you to always maintain self-confidence. So, even though you may appear cold on the outside, someone should get to know you better to discover the 'sweetness' within you. This can be seen from the lyrics, “Look so good, yeah, look so sweet. Lookin' good enough to eat. Coldest with the kiss, so he call me ice cream. Catch me in the fridge, right where the ice be”.
