It was released as part of Ayu's 2000 single Trilogy, and was preceded by [[vogue]] and [[Far away]]. Ayu has said that the singles are looking at her life from three different angles. The cover art for vogue is a close-up of Ayu's face. The cover of Far away has zoomed out to reveal the photo of Ayu standing on a deck, next to someone else who has been torn off the photo. The cover of SEASONS shows Ayu, by the ocean, holding that half of the torn photo.
