It is similar in structure to Engage the Enemy from the Xenoblade Original Soundtrack, and fulfils a somewhat similar purpose as a cutscene theme.

Counterattack (Piano Arrange) is an arrangement of the track for solo piano.

初代『ゼノブレイド』の「敵との対峙」が、哀しみの 渦にもがき苦しみながら感情を爆発させるイメー ジに対し、今作は前向きで意志を持った力強さを曲に込めました！ レックスの幼いけれど純粋な熱い気持ちをエレキギターで、ホムラの包み込む優しさと強さをストリングス、また世界を背負ってしまった一人の少女としての繊細な中に宿る凛とした心をピアノに込めて。二人が織りなすストーリーを熱く彩る曲になるよう作曲しました。
