Overview
スティールユー (Steal You) is a VOCALOID track by producer Omoi, featuring Hatsune Miku on vocals, composed and arranged by Sakurai. The song was created as the character theme for Bugdoll (バグドール), a playable character in the mobile game #COMPASS (#コンパス: 戦闘摂理解析システム), lending it a narrative of digital intrusion and emotional subversion that the lyrics carry through explicitly, "hacking your lock with a secret command" and "stepping through a world of lies." The official music video was produced by ずみまつ, and synthesizer programming was handled by Kimura.
スティールユー first crossed into rhythm games via CHUNITHM SUN in December 2022 before joining the maimai song library on July 19, 2024 as part of maimai でらっくす BUDDiES PLUS. In maimai, it received four DX difficulties, with the Master chart (designed by 鳩ホルダー at a difficulty constant of 13.1) totaling exactly 1,001 notes, a round milestone that stands out among level-13 charts. The Expert chart was designed by はっぴー (Happy), a longtime maimai notes designer. Across both CHUNITHM and maimai, the song has been made available in Japanese, international, US, and Chinese arcade releases, with staggered regional rollouts for Asian and Chinese territories following the initial Japanese launch.
