Crafted in Vaundy’s signature love-song style, this track was also chosen as a commercial song for Zexy.

With cool, understated vocals and a restrained arrangement, it gives off a stylish impression.

Meanwhile, the lyrics—playing on the title “Jōnetsu” (Ever-warm/Constant Heat)—sing of a straightforward love brimming with passion.
