Background and release

Following their last release with "Wild Side" in 2019, the band released "Lost in Paradise" as the ending theme for the anime series Jujutsu Kaisen and it features rapper Aklo.[1] ALI's member Leo wrote:

In the 1990s, I chose Weekly Shonen Jump because I wanted to grow up. I read while skipping school. Before I knew it, more than 20 years have passed. My favorite series, Jujutsu Kaisen, describes the city I grew up in, the city where ALI was born, Shibuya, in the craziest way. The joy of being involved as ED song with the best characters. I wrote the song while expressing my gratitude over the years for being raised by Jump. hope you enjoy it.

— Leo[2]

It was released on October 10, 2020, prior to the CD release. The music video and uncredited version of the ending were released the following day.[3] Following Kahadio's arrest on May 14, 2021, measures were taken to suspend sales, withdraw the song, suspend its digital distribution and keep the video clip private.[4] Six months later, distribution of the song was resumed and a new re-edited version of the music video was released.[5] As of February 2023, it has more than 20 million views.
