"Speedrive" kept the fairy tale theme set by her previous singles "VS" and "Kojin Jugyo," this time taking on the Hans Christian Andersen's 1843 story of The Ugly Duckling.

[7] While the music was composed by Koichi, it was performed and arranged by Takahiro Izutani, who misono worked with for both "VS" and "Kojin Jugyō.
[12][13] The title track was used as the opening theme song to the romantic comedy film Love★Com (ラブ★コン), which was the live action adaptation of the manga Lovely Complex.
For "Speedrive," misono used chroma key, much how her sister, Kumi Koda, did for her song "Wind," which was released in February of the same year.
Finally feeling defeated by her consistent misfortune, she is rewarded of her good deeds by becoming like the white swan she had looked up to.
