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