Background
The single was first announced on Yasushi Akimoto's Google++ and the title song premiered live on September 18, 2012, at the AKB48's rock-paper-scissors tournament at Nippon Budokan.
Mayu Watanabe was originally one of the centers however, due to heavy choreography involved in this song, Yuko Oshima and Jurina Matsui later replaced Watanabe's center position.
It was released in four versions: Type-A, Type-K, Type-B, and Theater Edition.
The music video for the title song was directed by Joseph Kahn, the director of the music video for "Gingham Check". Instead releasing a normal MV, an alternative dance shot version was published.
