Composition and lyrics

Fuyu Tsuyama wrote the short story Magical specifically for "Adrena". Published on the Hana-Kimi anime's website on January 3, 2026, it depicts a prequel to Mizuki's feelings for her love interest, Izumi Sano, and her experiences at school since then.10 Lyrically, the song expresses the protagonist's exhilaration and confusion and "straightforward yet awkward" and unrelenting love, as she pursues her dream boy, driven by "up-tempo pop track with comical sound and dizzying electronic developments".1112

An accompanying music video for "Adrena" premiered on January 6, 2026. Directed by Tsuribu Tokyo, who previously handled Yoasobi's "Players" music video, the comical 3D-animated visual features characters from Hana-Kimi, including the protagonist, Mizuki, who runs, flies, and passes others amid a chaotic atmosphere.13 The English version's music video was uploaded on April 24.14
