Released as a single on August 1, 2012, the song was used as the theme song for the Tokyo Broadcasting System Television broadcast of the 2012 Summer Olympics, for which SMAP member Masahiro Nakai was the main sportscaster.

Since 2004, SMAP songs had been used by Tokyo Broadcasting System Television to pair with their Olympic Games coverage, with "Susume!"

[1] Sakanaction's most recently released single at the time, "Boku to Hana" (2012), acted as the theme song for the drama 37-sai de Isha ni Natta Boku: Kenshui Junjō Monogatari, in which SMAP member Tsuyoshi Kusanagi starred.

[2] Yamaguchi felt that writing the song had been a learning process for him, as he needed to consider what type of pop music would suit the band and the song from a different perspective to how he wrote pop music for his band Sakanaction.

[5] CDJournal reviewers felt that the song was "overflowing" with a fast pace, feeling it lyrically emphasized the importance of now.
