"Mae shika Mukanee", was first revealed to the public on January 24, 2014 at AKB48's "AKB48 Request Hour Setlist Best 200 2014 (Part 1)" concert at the Tokyo Dome City Hall. The title track's center performer is Yuko Oshima, and it is also her final senbatsu participation with AKB48. This also served as Ayaka Kikuchi (singer) and Misato Nonaka’s final single with the group. [4] The members who participated in this song have participated in the group's previous song "Heart Electric". New participants include Mako Kojima and Akari Suda, and it is Kojima's first participation on an AKB48 title track.[citation needed] and Suda's first Senbatsu participation since Koisuru Fortune Cookie a year ago.

The lyrics were written by Yasushi Akimoto.[5]

The single was released in four types; Type A (Normal / Limited Edition), Type B (Normal / Limited Edition), Type C (Normal / Limited Edition), and Theater Edition. The supporting tracks on the single are done by various subgroups: "Smiling Lions", "Beauty Giraffes", "Baby Elephants", and "Talking Chimpanzees".[citation needed]
