	A promotional video was filmed for the single featuring American drummer Jeremy Colson and Robert DeLeo of the Stone Temple Pilots on bass, who both also played for the studio version. The video made use of computer-generated imagery and featured only the band members. Although it was not included on the limited edition that included a DVD—which instead featured a live performance of the song—it was aired on multiple music channels at the time of release. In addition, B'z performed the song twice on television as promotion: the first a week prior to release on ''HEY!HEY!HEY!'', and again on a ''[[Music Station]]'' special on October 24th.

	While the title song of the single was not used as a tie-in promotion, the second B-side, "FRICTION", was included on the soundtrack of the Electronic Arts racing video game ''Burnout Dominator'' in all regions. The game saw its release in Western territories in March before being released in Japan in late September. The song was also used as the theme to music show "JAPAN COUNTDOWN" for the month of October. Earlier in the year, the song was available internationally on ~~iTunes as~~ part of the game's soundtrack beginning in April, making it available well before the other two tracks on the single. As of 2012, the song is no longer available on international iTunes stores. However, the song would also appear in another installment of the same video game series when it was included in 2008's ''Burnout Paradise'' and a decade later on 2018's ''Burnout Paradise Remastered''. This was the band's first original English composition since 2005's "[[THE CIRCLE\|Brighter Day]]" and was their latest game tie-in until "[[Into Free -Dangan-]]" served as the global theme to 2012's ''Dragon's Dogma''.

	#: [[File:s44_01.ogg]] Although the song as we know it is a hard rock number, this wasn't always the case. Production on the song began in Los Angeles in January with it originally intended to be of a much slower tempo. The early days of recording what would become ''[[ACTION]]'' were rough for the band, with Tak expressing in a "CLOSE UP" interview: "We had a slump unlike anything before." Koshi noted that, to overcome the initial slump for the album's session, they started "doing music with a different feel to it. With that, we started to get the rhythm—what we call the 'recording rhythm'." The band were satisfied with the result and premiered it live in the summer of the same year.		#: [[File:s44_01.ogg]] {{SUPER LOVE SONG Song}}
