lyrical content of the recording is based on longing for freedom. With that said, erotica is another factor that inspired the track's lyrics and Suzuki's image; she commented "the theme [of the track] is to sound erotic,". Credits provided by Oricon. Release "Free Free" was released with "Super Music Maker" on August 22, 2007 through Avex Trax and Avex Entertainment Inc., and served as the lead single to her sixth studio record Dolce (2008). The single was distributed into three physical formats and for digital consumption. The first two physical formats—a normal compact disc and CD/DVD bundle—featured the two singles and their extended mixes, all produced by Nakata. Additionally, the latter included the music video to "Free Free". The digital release, which was promoted through Avex Entertainment Inc. globally, only included the single and the extended mix to "Super Music Maker". Seven days later, Avex's sub-label Rhythm Republic, issued a 12" inch record that included the extended mixes of both singles; only limited copies were available at the singer's official website. The cover art to "Free Free"/"Super Music Maker" was photographed by Takashiro Akihisa, who also directed the accompanying music video for the song, and was revealed on July 18, 2007. There are three different artworks; the normal CD cover featured Suzuki kneeling down, whilst the DVD had her bending down with her back towards the camera. The artworks were placed on the back of the jewelcases, and the booklet featured another shot of her looking upwards; when opened, her bottom half is shown on the other side of the book. Additionally, Avex printed the booklets in a special lenticular paper that imitated the LED lights in the background of the photoshoot. This shot was then used as the official vinyl cover, tinted in pink. Taken from the video shoot, an editor for the website Sanspo compared the art to the work of Japanese recording artist Kumi Koda, where he/she described the shoot as "sexy". Another reviewer, reporting from Natalie.mu, commended its "decorative" lights and felt it expressed the song's "technopop" style. Reception Upon its release, "Free Free" was well received by music critics, with many believing it to be one of Nakata's greatest musical efforts. An editor at Billboard Japan commended their collaboration, praising their execution on the sound and Suzuki's re-invention. Similarly, an article at Natalie.mu praised the song's "uptempo" tune and its "sparkling" effects. Another article by
