Production and release

The single was released in five versions: Type-A, Type-B, Type-C, Type-D, and a regular edition. All versions except for the regular edition also includes a Blu-ray Disc containing music videos and short videos featuring each member individually.^[1]

Shiho Katō was chosen for the first time as the center (lead performer) position of the title track. It was also her first center role after Hinatazaka46's rebranding in 2019, as her previous one was during their time as Hiragana Keyakizaka46 for "Happy Aura", a B-side in the Keyakizaka46 single "Ambivalent".^[4][5]

"Koe no Ashiato" is used as the theme song to the television series Koeharu!, which casts members of Hinatazaka46.^[6]
