:Flying Get

The participating members were chosen by AKB48's 2011 general election. Each of AKB48's 21st single "Everyday, Kachusha" contained a ballot that allows the buyer to register a vote for one of the member candidates for the group's 22nd single. The top 21 vote-getters would get to participate in the title track, and the top 12 from the lineup would be prominently featured in its promotions. The winner of the general election was Atsuko Maeda, with Yuko Oshima as runner up.{{citation needed|date=August 2013|reason=need news article to affirm the top 12 of 21 are ranked even higher?}} The members who were ranked 22 to 40 were grouped as "Under Girls" and recorded on one of the B-sides.

{{expand section|date=August 2013|1=explain who was eligible as a candidate for this election? is it AKB48 only? sister groups? Kenkyusei? When was the election period? How did AKB48 announce the results? How many votes were registered? }}

The title track was the theme song for the Fuji TV drama series Hanazakari no Kimitachi e 'Ikemen Paradise' 2011, which starred AKB48 member Atsuko Maeda. The track was also featured in a television commercial for Peach John's lingerie brand "Heart Bra", and starred AKB48 members Yuko Oshima, Haruna Kojima and Tomomi Kasai.{{cite web | url = http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/08/peach-john-reveals-akb48s-cm-for-heart-bra/| title = PEACH JOHN reveals AKB48's CM for 'Heart Bra'! | date = August 5, 2011 | work = Tokyohive }}
