Overview
The title track was written and produced by Nao'ymt.[1] The song speaks about one's battle with oneself's "entangled" life.[2] Kuroki explained, "(with this song) I wanted to show a different side of me as an artist, other than dancing."[3] "Wired Life" served as ending theme to the TBS anime Blue Exorcist.[1] In a press release, the show's producer commented, "I am truly honored to have this song featured on Blue Exorcist. Kuroki's strength and charm resembles that of the anime's protagonist, Rin Okumura, and I'm thankful that 'Wired Life' has captured the spirit of the show."[3]
"Upgrade U!", which was initially announced as an A-side but later relegated to B-side status, was written by Kaoru Kami and composed and produced by Jeff Miyahara. The standard CD-only and limited CD+DVD editions also include a remix of "One More Drama". The Blue Exorcist edition includes a TV size version of the title track, as well as a remix featuring Rin Okumura's voice actor Nobuhiko Okamoto.
