On August 8, 2022, it was announced SKY-HI would be releasing a new digital single on August 22.
The track would be an official song inspired by Japanese version of "Sonic the Hedgehog 2," known in Japan as "Sonic The Movie: Sonic VS Knuckles," which released August 19.

For the song, co-writer and producer Taku Takahashi sampled the movie's theme song, "UP ON THE GREEN HILL from Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone -MASADO and MIWASCO Version-" by DREAMS COME TRUE, which is based on "Green Hill Zone," the main theme of the Song the Hedgehog video game. This is the first ever sampling of DREAMS COME TRUE's music.
A promotional video featuring SKY-HI and scenes from the film was released on Paramount Pictures' Japanese YouTube channel.

On August 11, he gave the first performance of the song at the Okayama show of his SKY-HI HALL TOUR 2022 -Cho Hachimenroppi-.

On August 22, the official music video was released on SKY-HI's YouTube channel.

一切ブレーキなんてない 俺は世界の想定外 翼なんてなくてもFly 走れ 走れ 走れ 絶対追いつかせない だけど置いてくんじゃない 一緒に行こうぜ飛んじゃうくらい 走れ 走れ 走れ しょうもない物を今日も追いかける しょうもない俺に今日も問いかける “正気じゃない”百も承知 どうしようもない夢に全てを賭ける 雑音も届かないスピード 喧騒の街飛び出し一歩リード 俺の辞書には無い慎重や辛抱 進む先の全部が青信号 付いてきな 味方か敵かじゃない 敵も味方になっちゃう様な手品 障害を撃破 平和な過激派 めくるページは次のエリア All Day, All Night, OK! 目指すはNo PainでMore Gain アジア、アフリカ、南米、欧米 この地球上の全て楽しもうぜ 一切ブレーキなんてない 俺は世界の想定外 翼なんてなくてもFly 走れ 走れ 走れ 絶対追いつかせない だけど置いてくんじゃない 一緒にいこうぜ飛んじゃうくらい 走れ 走れ 走れ 脇目も振らず遊ぶ ここ全部俺の場所 縛るのなんて不可能 星から星までぶっ飛ばそう 脇目も振らず遊ぶ ここ全部俺の場所 縛るのなんて不可能 走れ 走れ 走れ 悩んでる暇ないぜ その不安もトラブルも愛したいね Out Of Control 昨日以上そんで今日以上 笑われそうな妄想に身を投じよう 予定通りの明日を飲み込むほど ピンチも歓迎　決断は場面 人生をスクリーンに映す大画面 誰かの希望で誰かのヒーロー 任せなよ俺がNo.1主人公 涙の過去 塗り替えてやろう 笑い声の未来の中で会おう 準備はいいか 次誰の番？ 最初から最後まで俺のターン 一切ブレーキなんてない 俺は世界の想定外 翼なんてなくてもFly 走れ 走れ 走れ 絶対追いつかせない だけど置いてくんじゃない 一緒に行こうぜ飛んじゃうくらい 走れ 走れ 走れ 脇目も振らず遊ぶ ここ全部俺の場所 縛るのなんて不可能 星から星までぶっ飛ばそう 脇目も振らず遊ぶ ここ全部俺の場所 縛るのなんて不可能 走れ 走れ 走れ
