Background
According to Takuya∞, "Touch Off" was the first song they made in 2018 before "Odd Future" and "Eden e". At first, they made its basic sounds more hip hop with acoustic guitar and drums but they had not yet created the lyrics. Later Takuya∞ made the lyrics based on the anime The Promised Neverland, telling to keep fighting spirits and to not give up for getting freedom.
