Written by Takashi Matsumoto and Kenji Hayashida, the single was released on December 7, 2005, by Universal Sigma.

"Rakka Ryūsui" was released a year and five months after Nakamori's previous single "Hajimete Deatta Hi no Yō ni". It was used as the theme song of the TV Tokyo drama special Tenka Sōran: Tokugawa Mitsuyo no Inbō (天下騒乱〜徳川三代の陰謀, lit. World Mayhem: Conspiracy of the Three Tokugawas). The B-side is a re-recording of Nakamori's 1986 hit single "Desire (Jōnetsu)".[2]
