The song will be included on her second album “If you…”, which will be released on February 23rd.“I thought of keeping (Phonic Nation) unknown, but I felt that the people at the live performance really loved it… so I decided to put the song in (the movie),” May’n said of including “Phonic Nation” in her documentary. “It’s a song that I crammed full of my love for music. I think that even as you’re watching the movie, you’ll be smiling. It was such a warm live.” The song is described as a middle-tempo pop tune that is familiar to the ears, and even had the audience singing “la la la” with the singer towards the end of the song during performance.
