This was Abe's first time to work with Negishi. Abe chose this song to become a single because of its stronger rock sound compared to her previous works (especially in comparison to songs such as "Free," which were much more pop-rock). The song was written by Abe in 2009, when she was 19, however was recorded and released when she was 20.https://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000065197 ja:阿部真央、「19歳の唄」に委ねたロック宣言 Barks Japanese October 27, 2010 November 6, 2010http://www.music-lounge.jp/v2/articl/news/detail/?articl=2010/10/12-09:00:00_f6d8cced34781a7c5c320f23b1d541f5 阿部真央11/3(水)ニューシングル「19歳の唄」のリリースを記念して、豪華特典が満載の期間限定の特設サイト「Abema Rally(あべまラリー)」スタート Music Lounge Japanese October 12, 2010 November 6, 2010 During this time, Abe was dealing with the stresses of being a musician, such and was performing on her tour Mao Abe Live No. 1 and in recording sessions for her album Pop. During this time, Abe found she could not write songs she considered good since her debut, as opposed to those written in high school. The lyrics of the song are autobiographical, about Abe's state of mind at 19. The song deals with her feelings of insecurity, impatience and conflict of not being considered a child or an adult. Abe considers the song a condensation of the resentment and chaos she felt while under stress as a musician. The single also features the B-sides "Ai ni Iku" and "Morning," though initially four songs were planned for the single.http://abemao.com/media/ MEDIA｜阿部真央オフィシャルサイト Pony Canyon November 6, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20101105004009/http://abemao.com/media/ November 5, 2010 dead Abe described "Ai ni Iku" as a "painful pop tune" and a "straightforward love song." It was based on real experiences, where Abe was trying to keep up a long-distance relationship while having no money. During the writing process, Abe wrote the music and lyrics entirely separately. The self-guitar backed track "Morning" was described by Abe as being about a man's other connections outside of love, such as work and friends. Abe started the song from the lyric "Ashita wa dare no moto e yuku no?" 明日は誰の元へ 行くの? "Who will you go to tomorrow?" which she wrote down while visiting a friend's house. At the end of 2008 she wrote the song properly, finishing writing the lyrics spontaneously, something she had never done before. Promotion For promotion of the single a special cellphone-only site abema-rally.jp was set up. The site was a social networking game, in which people received points for sending messages to their friends. The top 50 posters were invited to a special exclusive live event.
