-'''''poker face''''' is Hamasaki Ayumi's first single under the avex trax label. The title track was used as CDTV's theme song.
-The song originally had lyrics written by a different songwriter. Hamasaki was dissatisfied with the lyrics, and producer Max Matsuura suggested she write new lyrics herself. The lyrics were written the morning the single was recorded.
