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.

Alongside the message “I love you straightforwardly, always running hot,” it also conveys how the singer is deeply drawn to the other person, as in “When I’m with you, my heart starts pounding.” The contrast between the sound and the lyrics feels fresh, doesn’t it?
