ボサノヴァをルーツにもち、ガットギターの弾き語りのスタイルで独自の世界観を繰り広げて来た近田ゆうきの、前作から3年ぶりの通算4作目となるアルバム。シンプルな弾き語りをメインで構成されたアルバムは初となり、シンガーソングライターとして新境地に達した、アーティストの魅力たっぷりのアルバムとなっている。全てコロナ禍で書き下ろした楽曲たち。コロナ渦で経験した絶望、諦め、小さな希望、心の変化が繊細に表現され、人々の心に共鳴する。真の癒しをもたらすと定評のある自然からのメッセージソング。今作ではさらに自然愛溢れたアンビエント音楽が詰まっている。気づくとそこに咲いていて、優しく寄り添う花たちのように、希望、癒しを与えてくれる逸品。楽曲『大好きだから会わない』では、多方面で活躍するピアニスト須藤信一郎がゲスト参加。さらに切なさを増し、アルバムの聞きどころとなっている。
