"Nobody's Fault" was premiered during Keyakizaka46's Last Live KEYAKIZAKA46 Live Online, but with YOU! on October 13, 2020.[1][5] Hikaru Morita was featured as centre position in the choreography for the title song, making her the first second-generation member to hold such position after the departure of Yurina Hirate, the most renowned member of the group.[1][6] Karin Fujiyoshi and Ten Yamasaki also took center positions in coupling tracks as the management committee set forth, made it technically a trio-center.[6][7] The formation was announced on the Sakurazaka46 starring variety show Soko Magattara, Sakurazaka? prior to the premiere. There is no "unit song" and "solo song" on this release though a three-row formation was kept. Apart from the third-row members being rotated in different songs, the first and second row members, named "Sakura Eight" (櫻エイト), were featured in all tracks.[3]
The music video for the title song was taken in Sadogashima, west of Niigata Prefecture.[8][9] It was directed by Shohei Goto, also known as the director of Mizkan, Shiseido, Sony and Uniqlo commercials.[9][10] It reached 1 million views in 2 days after released on YouTube.[11]
All lyrics are written by Yasushi Akimoto, except off vocal version track.
