The B-side track features a reggae-style song, "Box in the Ship", which was used on Universal Studios Japan's "Hollywood Dream the Ride" rollercoaster, since Tohoshinki were appointed "Goodwill Ambassador for Asia" by USJ earlier in the year.

Music Video

Two music videos were created, one featuring TVXQ group members while the other features a story. The drama version was released on June 24, 2008. According to management, the drama version was made especially for viewers who were not necessarily fans of the group and wanted to simply appreciate the song and its meaning.

The drama version MV features 20 year-old actress Fujii Mina with an innocent image, casted as the lead of the story in the MV, in which the female gets married before her old lover could confess his feelings.
