Background and composition
"Make My Day" is a pop-rock song written and produced by Japanese singer-songwriter Keito Blow. It was released in three limited editions: edition A, which has an illustration cover drawn by Aragaki herself, edition B, which comes with a DVD including three live performances and edition C, which comes with a DVD including three music videos and off-shot footage.
Aragaki gave Blow a list of themes she wanted her music to reflect and Blow used it as inspiration to write the song, as well as the b-side "I Believe". The second b-side, "Soba ni", was written by Aragaki herself and talks about the many things one can notice in a Shibuya crowd.
"Make My Day" was used as theme song for the Fuji TV drama 81diver, starring Junpei Mizobata and Riisa Naka.
