Background

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.[2] 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.[3] Her graduation ceremony took place at the end of their tour on June 20.

It is a double A-side single.

The single is released in five versions: 2 CD-only regular editions and 3 CD+DVD limited editions. The first press of both regular editions comes with a trading card, randomly selected from two sets of 14 (for a total of 28 trading cards).
