This is a commercial tie-in song for NATURAL BEAUTY BASIC, in which the members themselves also appeared.

Apparently, a faster-tempo version than the original had been produced, but when Yasutaka Nakata asked Perfume for their opinion, they chose the original tempo, so the original version was adopted.

The music video features a friendly cameo by Yuriko Yoshitaka, the drama’s lead.

It’s a number that combines a positive vibe that feels like a push on the back.
