“KICK BACK” is the opening of the anime Chainsaw Man (2022), whose hero, Denji, is a poor young man with simple dreams: a nice meal, a girlfriend, an easy life. The song captures his frantic, desperate energy — wanting to be happy and lucky without having to try so hard.
It became the first Japanese-language song certified gold in the United States, and it quotes a line from a 2000s Morning Musume hit about effort, the future and “a beautiful star”, turning it into a chant.
It's C1: the flow is chaotic, with screaming, rapping and sudden changes. Learn the core words — effort, future, happiness, lucky, easy — and enjoy the madness.
