One of the show points of this tune is the silence transitioning two passages of the tune. Trance is marked by repetitious rhythmic electronic beat and here it is played in point and counterpoint.

As a result of the song's success in Japan, it was included on beatmania IIDX 7th Style as a playable song with two other songs licensed by Avex.

Two official music videos have been made for the song. The first is of Svenson & Gielen performing to club goers attending a stadium trance festival. It can be found on Be Yourself Music's official YouTube channel.[5] The second is a CGI animated video of Sven Maes and Johan Gielen fighting an android in a virtual arena.[6]

Official reworks of the song have been released twice on the record label High Contrast Recordings. In 2010, the W&W vs. Jonas Stenberg remix was released and in 2013, two separate remixes by Menno de Jong and Artento Divini were released.
