Comment from Maeda Jun in the album:
For this as well, I wrote this song by putting myself in the player's shoes and thinking about what kind of song would make me feel most exhilarated if a vocal song were to play during the final boss battle. It was my first time writing lyrics for such a terrifying song, so I hope this song helps players remember the horror of facing a strong enemy. However, writing songs that feel more like a boss battle song than this one is an unfamiliar field for me. Indra is my entry into that field.
