Primary changes include the drums being eliminated in favor of driving piano and string arrangements. The re-versioned song was first heard in the drama series that the original version was featured in, "Buzzer Beat". This version was requested by the drama staff, but only portions of the new edition were played in the drama itself. This was the first time in eight years that a re-versioned single had been released later as a B-side, since "ultra soul ~Splash Style~" was included on "[[GOLD]]".
