Composition and lyrics


"Start Over" was written in a more pop oriented style, as opposed to their usual hard rock.[1][2][3][4] Lead guitarist Kanami Tōno, plays the piano in the song.[5] It was lead vocalist Saiki Atsumi's idea to include piano, as well as to not have a guitar solo.[3] The lyrics were written to be easy to sing in karaoke, as many of their fans expressed difficulty in singing their songs.[1] There were originally more English lyrics, but Atsumi told rhythm guitarist/vocalist Miku Kobato, to cut down on them.[6] For the lyrics, Kobato had in mind a theme of contradictory love and that she didn't want to make the lyrics too dark or too cute.[2] Kobato included the lyrics "I don't give a fuck" at the end of the song because she didn't want the song to end poppy.[4]

For "Screaming", they wanted to make a song that was more like Band-Maid's previous songs.[2] It was originally going to be included on their album Conqueror, but ultimately, a new song, "Dilemma", was chosen instead.[7] The tempo is 215.[8] It originally had a slower tempo.[4] In 2019, as Band-Maiko, they released an alternate version with traditional Japanese instruments and lyrics rewritten in the Kyoto dialect.[9]


Background and release


The single was released in three versions: a limited edition which contains the CD, a Blu-ray of a concert recorded at Zepp Tokyo on April 13, 2018, a postcard and an additional CD containing "Secret Maiko Lips", a second limited edition which contains the CD and a DVD of the aforementioned concert, and a standard edition which only contains the CD.[10]


Critical reception


Marc Bowie of J-Generation said that the title track is "catchy as hell, the song blends jazzy piano, palm-muted guitar and sinuous bass work with a crunchy chorus."[11] Trent Cannon of Rice Digital said that the title track "...is a great track that is a little bit slower, featuring a bit of piano to lighten the mood."[12]


Music video


The music video for "Start Over" was released on July 3, 2018.[11] French model Mitsugi appeared in the music video.[13]


Live performances


Live versions of "Screaming" were later released on their video albums Band-Maid World Domination Tour [Shinka] at Line Cube Shibuya (Shibuya Public Hall) and Band-Maid Online Okyu-Ji (Feb. 11, 2021).[1][14]
