Regarding the lyrics, Ayu adds, "I talk often about how weak I was when I was small...I couldn't face people because I would turn bright red. It's sad that there are things I don't have the skill to say, but... what do I have to do to speak of my existence?...It seems that the present Ayu has found music. I write lyrics, and I sing them. Having found this, little by little I can now communicate with people. I can write down these feelings, and 'For My Dear...' is the manifestation of that."
