The title track was written and composed by Jun Takigawa (瀧川潤) and served as theme song for the NTV drama Saitō-san, starring Mizuki herself. CDJournal described "Engaged" as a "captivating ballad" and praised the intensity and emotion of Mizuki's vocal delivery. The B-side, "Anemone," was also produced by Takigawa but written by Mizuki, marking her first foray into songwriting since the song "Sky" from Mizuki's fourth compilation album History: Alisa Mizuki Complete Single Collection (2004).
