The title track is the main theme from the movie PriPara Mi~nna no Akogare ♪ Let's Go ☆ PriPari. This is the first single without the graduated member Rena Matsui, and the first after the release of Love Crescendo debut single, "Cup no Naka no Komorebi".
Unlike AKB48 and HKT48 (which release full versions of previous single, whenever a new one is released), SKE48 does not release full versions of their music videos on YouTube as of 2011, due to restrictions imposed by Avex Trax, which currently belongs.{{clarify|date=May 2018}} A short version of music video was published on March 7. The full version is included only on limited editions, and was not published on YouTube. As "Coquettish Jūtai Chū", the full version from MV wasn't leaked prior to its release.
This is the last appearance of Sae Miyazawa on a 48G single, as she attended for a last time on an AKB48 single prior to her graduation. Miyazawa was featured previously on Kimi wa Melody (released March 9), and "Tabi no Tochū" is her graduation song which is featured on Type D. Sae graduated from SKE48 in a concert held on Nippon Gaishi Hall on March 4, then from SNH48, on a special graduation stage on March 16, 2016.
Types A, B, C and D covers were changed, due to similarities with Body Language, by Australian singer Kylie Minogue.
