On April 1, 2018, the song "A gonna" was first performed in "Hello! Project 20th Anniversary!! Hello! Project Hina Fest 2018: Morning Musume '18 Premium". Then on April 21, the song "Are you Happy?" was first performed in their Spring Concert "Morning Musume Tanjou 20 Shuunen Kinen Concert Tour 2018 Haru ~We are MORNING MUSUME~" in Shizuoka. On May 5, both songs were finally announced as their 65th single. Since before that day, they were never mentioned to be their new single.
This also became Haruna Ogata's last single since she announced her graduation back in late March. Her graduation ceremony took place at the end of their tour on June 20.
