"Bokura no Machi de" was written entirely by folk singer-songwriter Kazumasa Oda for KAT-TUN.

[3] The song was featured as the ending theme song to Kazuya Kamenashi and Koki Tanaka's romance drama, Tatta Hitotsu no Koi, and as such, the lyrics correspond with the troubled relationship Kamenashi's character and his love interest (portrayed by Haruka Ayase) once shared.

KAT-TUN debuted the song on television on Utawara on December 3, 2006, and were guests on their senpai Masahiro Nakai's talk show Utaban on the day the single was released.

On March 18, 2007, co-lead vocalist Kazuya Kamenashi was a guest on Shounen Club Premium where he collaborated with Tokio vocalist and keyboardist Tomoya Nagase and Kokubun Taichi for a one-off performance of the single.

By the end of its chart run in early 2007, the song had reportedly sold over 558,491 copies and was later certified Double Platinum by RIAJ denoting over 500,000 shipments.
