As Minami explains, the concept of this song is "summer & love". She raps about her past memories and her current lifestyle as a rapper. She also raps in a singing style that emphasizes the melody at the hook.

In the lyrics, her enthusiasm for riding the waves from the scenery of her home Tsujido is included.

The sound producer, andrew from TREKKIE TRAX, produced the track and also was in charge of everything from vocal direction, mixing and mastering.
