Released in November 2021, it was written as the opening theme for the BL drama “My Beautiful Man.” Crafted to match the drama’s worldview—which portrays the relationship between a high school student with a stutter and someone at the top of the school’s social hierarchy—the lyrics capture a clumsy, heartfelt love from the protagonist’s perspective.
Even while knowing he isn’t worthy of the other person, he can’t help but follow him with his eyes.
The emotions swaying between low self-esteem and feelings that can’t be contained are expressed through the imagery of a sweet yet slightly bitter taste.

It was also used as a CM song for Honda Cars, broadcast across seven prefectures in the Chubu region, including Aichi and Mie, so plenty of people have likely heard its refreshing melody on TV.
