Koda Kumi's 36th single, "Freaky" (stylized as FREAKY), was released on June 27, 2007. The single took the #1 spot on the Oricon charts, making it her fourth #1 single, and charted for fifteen weeks.

Freaky is Japanese R&B-turned-pop star Kumi Koda's thirty-sixth single under the Avex sub-label Rhythm Zone. It charted #1 on the Oricon Singles Charts, making it her fourth to do - the others being you, feel and Yume no Uta/futari de.... It remained on the charts for fifteen weeks with over 250,000 shipped. "Freaky," the title track, was certified platinum for downloads by RIAJ.

The single came in CD and CD+DVD, with limited editions for both. The limited editions contained a fold-out promotional poster. The CD+DVD version harbored instrumentals for the four tracks on the single, while the CD only carried remixes.

While the song contained four separate tracks, it was only listed as a double a-side, due to "Sora" and "girls" not having corresponding music videos and being listed as b-sides. On the corresponding album for the single, Kingdom; however, "Run For Your Life" was omitted from the CD portion.

Initially, "Run For Your Life" was not going to be on the single and, instead, would have been the song "anytime," which was released as a single seven months later. This is most apparent in the music video, whereas both "Run For Your Love" and "anytime" were filmed at the same location in California. A reason for the switch was never released, though fans speculated it was to give Kumi a ballad to be released during the winter months, whereas Ai no Uta was released in early Autumn.
