Overview
"I'm with you" is the opening theme for the 2019 anime adaptation of CHIROLU's light novel series "If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord" (うちの娘の為ならば、俺はもしかしたら魔王も倒せるかもしれない。). The track is performed in-character by ラティナ (Latina), the young heroine of the story, as voiced by Kanon Takao (高尾奏音). Behind the scenes, the song was composed by Koji Matsuzaka, arranged by Seiki Sato, and penned by lyricist Shio Watanabe, with the single releasing in 2019. At 181 BPM, the upbeat pop arrangement mirrors the anime's gentle found-family premise, pairing an energetic rhythm with lyrics about shared joy and mutual support.
In maimai, "I'm with you" arrived with the maimai でらっくす PLUS update on July 31, 2020, as part of a limited-time collaboration area themed around its parent series. Players initially had to rack up 10 m of distance in the dedicated area before the unlock window closed on September 16, 2020. From maimai でらっくす Splash onward, the song became available by default. The Master chart (level 11, designed by シチミヘルツ) and the Expert chart (level 9+, designed by 華火職人) each showcase the charters' signature approaches to slide and touch-note patterning.
