Background and release

edit

Tuki began posting her cover and original songs on TikTok while in middle school. "Bansanka" was first uploaded onto TikTok on July 7, 2023. The acoustic version of the song was uploaded to YouTube on September 13, and the duet version with singer-songwriter Yuuri on November 6.[4]

"Bansanka" was inspired after her father mentioned "There are about 30,000 days in a lifetime". Reflecting on that, she thought "I've already lived 5,000 days and only have about 25,000 more".[5]
