Production
In early November online retail shops, such as HMV, made it possible for shoppers to pre-orders for BoA's seventh studio album, which was to be released on January 13, 2010. It was announced by a representative of her Korean label, SM Entertainment, that BoA would act as the producer of the album. The album was said to contain provocative dance tracks that were chosen by BoA and it would feature many renowned artists. However, a few weeks later it was pulled from pre-ordering on online stores. Nearly a week after the release of "Mamoritai: White Wishes", news about the album started to surface once again. In the reports the title of the album was revealed and the album was given a new release date.

On December 23, 2009, Livedoor released information on a new track titled "Possibility". The song is a ballad which is a duet with label-mate Daichi Miura and it is said that the theme of the song is of both men and women "passing each other".

Singles
The first single from the album was "Bump Bump!" which features label-mate Verbal.

The second single was "Mamoritai: White Wishes". "Mamoritai: White Wishes" was released on December 9, 2009 and is the theme song for the Nintendo Wii video game Tales of Graces. BoA performed the song at The Basic's Speical Live, which aired on October 10, 2009. She also appeared on the variety show Music Fighter, where she performed the song. BoA performed the song at her 2009 winter concert, BoA The Live 2009 "X-mas". The single ranked number 3 on the Oricon charts selling 25.413.
