Background
This single marked a comeback for Mika Nakashima, who took a break from performing in October 2010 to seek treatment for her chronic Eustachian tube dysfunction.[1] The title track was the theme song for the television drama Yōkame no Semi, in which Mao Inoue had the lead role.[1] Mika stated that she "feels very honored" that her song was chosen and "will do her best".[1]
For "Dear," Nakashima again teamed up with Katsuhiko Sugiyama, who wrote and composed her previous single, "Ichiban Kirei na Watashi o".[1]
The coupling tune is a rearranged version of "A Miracle For You", a song from Nakashima's first album, True.[1]
