This single is the first of Ai's to be released since her greatest hits collection, Best Ai, in the third term 2009. It is one of many releases intended to celebrate Ai's 10th anniversary since her debut, with many further collaborations planned.[1][2]

Ai and Amuro have worked together twice in the past. Once in 2003 as part of the Suite Chic project on the song "Uh Uh......" feat. AI, and once again in 2006 on Zeebra's song "Do What U Gotta Do" feat. AI, Namie Amuro & Mummy-D.[2]
