Hoshino wrote "Fushigi" for the television drama series Why I Dress Up for Love . He took inspiration from anime, novels, and synthesizer-heavy R&B music from the 1980s to write a heartaching song; he penned and produced the track alone, and arranged it with collaborator Mabanua. A love song, "Fushigi" is an analog synthesizer-driven J-pop ballad with elements of funk, R&B, soul, and urban contemporary music.

Reviews of "Fushigi" have complimented its interpretation of love. Some critics also noted its composition, which a few found nostalgic. Commercially, the song debuted at number two on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, and later rose to number one upon the release of the double A-side single. "Fushigi" peaked at number 71 on the Bilboard Global Excl. US – Hoshino's second international chart entry – and reached number 9 on the Oricon Combined Singles Chart. The song was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for streaming and gold for physical sales.
