这首歌曲以精致简约的音乐风格为特色,让BE:FIRST七名成员以各自独特的声线演绎,为歌曲注入更深刻的情感,营造出富有叙事性的音乐体验。这也是BE:FIRST自出道以来的首支情感大作品。歌曲具有极具感染力的旋律和生动逼真的舞蹈动作,在短短的三分钟内创造出一个精彩的画面和华丽的听觉效果,让听众沉浸在BE:FIRST音乐打造的丰富多彩的世界中。歌词中简单的句子“你是如此美丽”极大地强化了这首歌曲惆怅、梦幻的氛围,让听众感受到哀伤、脆弱、决心和希望。
此次BE:FIRST不仅邀请了众多音乐制作人的加盟,制作阵容强大,包括日本音乐界的超级rapper和BMSG社长SKY-HI,以及舞蹈和歌唱的前辈w-inds的橘庆太和来自首尔的音乐制作人JUNE。同时,舞蹈编排由日本最强四人舞技团体“s**t kingz”负责,该团队由shoji、kazuki、NOPPO和oguri组成,曾连续两年获得美国舞蹈大赛“BODY ROCK”的冠军,并成为许多日韩艺人的舞者和编舞师。这些威名赫赫的艺人和专业人士的加入,无疑提升了这首歌曲的制作水平和艺术价值。
