元々B面であった「SWEET MEMORIES」は、ペンギンのキャラクターが印象的なサントリー缶ビールのCM曲であった。使われたのは英語詞の部分で、当初は「歌・松田聖子」のクレジット表記も無かった為、「誰が歌っているのか？」という問い合わせや反響が相次いだ。これは本人がCMに出演しなくても歌声だけで注目を集めたデビュー曲の「裸足の季節」と通じるものがある。その後、歌番組でこの曲が歌われるようになると名曲として広く知れ渡り、多くのアーティストにカバーされるほどの代表曲となった。(フリー百科事典 ウィキペディア日本語版より：https://x.gd/UT9Oh)
ーーー
”SWEET MEMORIES”, which was originally the B-side, was a commercial song for Suntory canned beer with an impressive penguin character. The English lyrics were used, and at first there was no credit forsung by ”Seiko Matsuda,” so there were a number of inquiries and responses asking, ”Who was singing this song?” This is similar to her debut song ”Barefoot Season,” which attracted attention with her singing voice alone even though she did not appear in the commercial. Later, when this song began to be sung on music programs, it became widely known as a masterpiece and became a signature song that was covered by many artists.
