The MV is a visual treat and shows EXO members fighting with alternate versions of themselves. Their entire album will revolve around various emotions that emerge from the clash between EXO and X-EXO (the name given to the clones). Obsession is a hip-hop dance song, while other songs cover various genres like trap reggae and dance-pop. Prior to and after the release, EXO-Ls (EXO's fanbase) trended the hashtags OBSESSEDwithEXO, OBSESSION, EXOonearewe and EXO6thReport.
