"Show Time", the title track is a high tempo J-hip hop number with rap lyrics in Chinese and Japanese, written by Show, and choreographed by his childhood friend Tommy () of Dance Soul studios. The other lead tracks, "æÂ¢ä¸ÂæÂ¢" (Do You Dare?) is a mid-tempo ballad and "çÂÂç¸精" (Seductress) is a high tempo 'battle-of-the-sexes' track. "漫ç¡ç®çÂÂ" (Aimless) is a mid-tempo dance track choreographed by Sam (丸山æÂ£æº«) of Japanese pop group TRF fame. The track "妳說妳çÂÂæÂÂ說æÂÂçÂÂ" (You Said It's Yours I say It's Mine) is the ending theme song of Taiwanese drama Hi! Working Girl () starring Show and Jolin Tsai.
In order for Show Time to be released in Mainland China, Show had to re-record and rename some tracks, as they were considered offensive by the Government's audit controls. For example, "çÂÂç¸精" (Seductress) was re-titled to "è¨ÂÃ¥ÂÂ鬼" (Annoying One), and part of the lyrics for "æ²ÂæÂÂ妳" (Without You) were changed to the Japanese rap lyrics for "Show Time" into Chinese.
