It was released on October 21, 2009, by her record label SME Records as the lead single to her sophomore album To Love. The title track was used as a commercial song for Recochoku and the Nippon TV dorama Detective M's theme song. It was written by Nishino, while production was handled by Giorgio Cancemi. Musically, the song is an R&B pop ballad that lyrically speaks on the bittersweet feelings of love that come with youth.
Upon its release, the track garnered warm reviews from music critics, who praised Nishino's songwriting, along with the song's composition. "Motto..." achieved success in Japan, peaking at number one on the RIAJ Digital Track Chart and number six on the Oricon Singles Chart. The Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) has certified the track triple platinum for ringtone downloads of over 750,000, as well as million for full song downloads of over one million. An accompanying music video for "Motto..." was shot by Nobu Sueyoshi in Zushi Marina.
