Utada revealed on her Twitter account that she wrote the song which is used as the main theme for the movie, after reading through the film's final script.

According to the music video's description on Youtube, the video itself was directed by the film's director, Hideaki Anno. Due to the worldwide pandemic, Anno gave general instructions by email such as taking selfie-like videos around Utada's present home in London. Anno himself then edited and assembled the final video.

The song has also been released physically as a CD featuring Shinji on the cover and as a limited edition vinyl featuring Rei.
