The first A-side, Peach is an upbeat song said to "give the feeling of the refreshing summer sky"[citation needed] and is the theme song of the new summer 2007 drama, Hanazakari no Kimitachi e, starring Maki Horikita, Shun Oguri, and Ikuta Toma. In contrast, the second A-side, Heart is a medium-tempo track which has a "nostalgic feeling".[citation needed] The single also features a rearranged version of the single Renai Shashin called Renai Shashin: Haru.

"Peach" has been certified as being downloaded more than 1,000,000 times as a ringtone by the RIAJ,[2] and more than 250,000 times as a full-length download to cellphones.[3]
