"Egao no Mama de" was written and produced by Ryoji from Ketsumeishi, while its title was chosen by Ueto.[1] The song marks Ueto's second consecutive collaboration with Ryoji, who also wrote and produced "Kaze o Ukete" (2005).[2] "Egao no Mama de" is Ueto's first single to not contain a B-side, instead two "mega mixes," one featuring a mash-up of Ueto's singles to date, and the other featuring songs from License, were included.[3]
The theme of the song is growth and its lyrics were inspired by the cherry blossom season, which is commonly associated with encounters and separations.[4] The music video features a scene in which Ueto gets a drastic haircut to reflect her personal growth.[4]
"Egao no Mama de" debuted on the Oricon Daily Singles chart at number 8 on February 14, 2006, and peaked at number 15 on the Oricon Weekly Singles chart, with 9,546 copies sold in its first week.[5][6] The single charted for four weeks and has sold a total of 12,888 copies.[7][8]
