It was released on August 3, 2005 as the second single from Ueto's fourth studio album License. "Kaze o Ukete" served as theme song for the animation film Konjiki no Gash Bell!!

The title track and the B-side, "Yakusoku no Basho," were written and produced by Ryoji from Ketsumeishi.[2] The collaboration came about as Ueto's record label was looking for new songs Ueto could record for her next album.[2] Being a big fan of Ketsumeishi, her team offered Ryoji to produce a few songs for her, which he readily accepted.[2] Ryoji also remixed Ueto's "Yume no Chikara" for the single, which features a verse by Ryoji himself.[2]

Ueto commented on the collaboration, "When I received the demo, I couldn't believe it. I was touched to tears."[2] "I did my very best," she added, explaining that during the recording, Ryoji advised her to not worry about being pitch-perfect and to just have fun with the song.[2]
