Overview
"Gravity" is a ballad-style song with a 16-beat rhythm, originally composed by Inoran. He described it as "even though released in spring, the lyrics actually create a strong expression of autumn." Its music video was directed by Shichi Tan, who went on to direct the video for Luna Sea's next single, "Tonight".
"Inside You" is one of only two Luna Sea song originally written and composed by Shinya. "My Lover" was originally composed by Sugizo.
"Gravity" and "My Lover" were first performed during the Start Up Gig 2000, a live performance at Zepp Tokyo. Those songs were both used in the Japanese film 'Another Heaven', "Gravity" being its theme song. These songs were included on the film's first soundtrack, while an orchestrated version of "Gravity" was included on the second soundtrack as "Gravity on the Edge of the World".
A computer-generated portrait combining facial features from all five members is placed on the inner cover of this single, nicknamed "Tom", which also appears in their album 'Lunacy'.
