On November 30, 2013, Girls’ Generation revealed the original soundtrack for Blade & Soul at a release party held in Shanghai. Girls’ Generation performed the song live at the event and also sat down for an interview, during which they explained that they hope to have more activities in China in the future and that Blade & Soul is a popular game in Korea. A lottery event was also held, where Girls’ Generation chose five numbers, and those holding the numbers received prizes.
The open beta for the Chinese servers of the video game opened on November 28 and Tencent hopes that the recruitment of Girls' Generation will encourage people to become more interested in the game.

Lyrics

Most of the song is sung in Chinese beginning with Taeyeon singing:

不用问 不用想 去哪里 就跟著这路的方向

Bùyòng wèn bùyòng xiǎng qù nǎlǐ jiù gēnzhe zhè lù de fāngxiàng

Don't ask, don't think about where you're going, just follow the road in this direction

我给你加满极速力量 记得跟紧我步伐

Wǒ gěi nǐ jiā mǎn jísù lìliàng jìde gēn jǐn wǒ bùfá

I will give you full speed and power, just remember to keep up with my pace

The English phrase "Find Your Soul" and repeats of "Jiàn líng" (剑灵), the Chinese brand name of the Blade and Soul game, are inserted into the lyrics.
