Overview

"Gravity" is a ballad-style song with a 16-beat rhythm, originally composed by Inoran. He described it as "even though released in spring, the lyrics actually create a strong expression of autumn."

"Inside You" is one of only two Luna Sea song originally written and composed by Shinya. "My Lover" was originally composed by Sugizo.
