Background
The single was released in four versions: Limited Edition A, Limited Edition B, Limited Edition C, and Regular Edition. Each edition has a different cover. All the limited editions were shipped sealed and included a serial-numbered entry card for the lottery to win a ticket to one of the single's launch events. The limited editions A and B included a bonus DVD: Limited Edition A DVD contained the "Cha Cha Sing (Dance Shot Ver.)" music video, Limited Edition B — "Cha Cha Sing (Close-up Berry Kobo Ver.)".
The title track "Cha Cha Sing" is a cover of the song "Row Mah Sing" (Thai: เรามาซิง; RTGS: Rao Ma Sing) by popular Thai singer Bird Thongchai,[2] and the first B-side "Loving You Too Much" is also a cover of a song by him, titled "Too Much So Much Very Much". Both were translated into Japanese.[3] One version of the "Cha Cha Sing" music video depicts a flash mob, which was held in Venus Fort.[4] "Momochi! Yurushite-nyan Taisō" is Momoko Tsugunaga's first solo song.[4] Prior to the release of the CD single, the music video was distributed exclusively on Rekochoku since July 15.[5] It debuted in the first place in the Rekochoku Video Clip Daily Ranking[6]
