"Delete" is a message to those who have a "past" or "present" that they would like to delete, and our music expresses the idea of living strongly despite that. We would be happy if it resonated with people who got to know us through the anime. [10]

CD Journal website commented that the song has a "fast-paced feel" and a "hooky arrangement". [11]
