This is the only B'z single that was not produced by Matsumoto. It sold over 1,140,000 copies according to Oricon.[1] It was used as the theme song for the drama Oretachi ni Ki o Tsukero..
It was also the band's first officially released English recording.[citation needed]
The song has been cited as one of the band's works that best showcases Inaba's wide vocal range.[2]
It is said[by whom?] that the song was recorded as part of an attempt by BMG Japan to break B'z into the American market that never fully materialized.[citation needed]
