Background and release
[edit]Following their last release with "Wild Side" in 2019, the band released "Lost in Paradise" as the ending theme for the anime series Jujutsu Kaisen and it features rapper Aklo.[1] ALI's member Leo wrote:
In the 1990s, I chose Weekly Shonen Jump because I wanted to grow up. I read while skipping school. Before I knew it, more than 20 years have passed. My favorite series, Jujutsu Kaisen, describes the city I grew up in, the city where ALI was born, Shibuya, in the craziest way. The joy of being involved as ED song with the best characters. I wrote the song while expressing my gratitude over the years for being raised by Jump. hope you enjoy it.
— Leo[2]
It was released on October 10, 2020, prior to the CD release. The music video and uncredited version of the ending were released the following day.[3] Following Kahadio's arrest on May 14, 2021, measures were taken to suspend sales, withdraw the song, suspend its digital distribution and keep the video clip private.[4] Six months later, distribution of the song was resumed and a new re-edited version of the music video was released.[5] As of February 2023, it has more than 20 million views.
