Background and Release[]
The song was first revealed on April 25, 2019 on one of Kyary's Twitter posts.[2] In the song, "Kyary sends positive messages to children lost on social media."[3] The song's theme is anxiety, loss of motivation, and loneliness, later turning into Kick Punch Punch, a video game character that battles the stress and anxiety caused by social media.[4]
The cover for the song is entirely based on the music video; on the left half of the cover being Kyary's regular face, and the right half being the bearded Kyary from the music video, depicting other people that Kyary wants to keep safe from the depression that can be caused by others online.
