The song has been described as a blend of bhangra (Indian dance music) and Reggae music. The song uses a sitar sample, that is looped throughout the majority of the song. Amuro has recieved much criticism for the song because of sexually provocative lyrics (much like Koda Kumi's work). The song was banned in Korea.
The single has been certified gold for shipments of over 100,000 by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.
