The lyrics were written by Daiki Kudo, a member of Da-iCE who also participated as a writer in Da-iCE’s representative songs “CITRUS” and “Starmine,” as well as last year’s big hit “I wonder.”
We worked through trial and error to figure out how to combine Akiko Wada’s wonderful singing with our performance. I think it’s an unprecedented song that mixes elements of popular music and funk in terms of genre.
