'If I Could Do It All Again' depicts mistakes and regrets. The lyrics talk about trying to fix the mistakes and regrets even that has only infinitesimal hopes and extremely low possibilities of miracles. Thus, Yanagi extracted samples from speeches about hope, news about miracles, records about the moments of miracles, and the others. However, he noticed copyright problems, then Yanagi changed to orchestra sounds which is the track of this album.
Yanagi wanted to express natural voice like Liam Gallagher at first. Yanagi tried to sing without any techniques as possible as he can do, but the result was not. Piano, drums, violins, and organ sounds were used for this track. Also, the atmosphere of this song is mainly slowed and chilled like soft rock. In fact, this track was slower but Yanagi changed the tempo and re-recorded the vocals because one of his friends said 'It's too slow'.
The music video was filmed at 12 places of Hakodate, 2 places of Morimachi, and 1 place of Nanaecho in Hokkaido. The music video is about go back to his memories and take photos. 
過去の過ちをやり直したいという気持ちを表現した曲。微かな希望でも、その奇跡的な可能性のために頑張るという内容となっている。そのため、柳は最初、希望に関するスピーチと奇跡に関するニュース、奇跡の瞬間を捉えた音声などをサンプリングし、曲に加えていた。しかし、著作権の問題により、オーケストラサウンドに変更したバージョンが本アルバムの曲となっている。
必死で飾らない雰囲気を表現するため、できるだけテクニックを使わずに歌った楽曲で、最初にイメージしていたボーカルはOasisのリアム・ギャラガー。しかし、結果は少し異なる形となった。楽器はピアノとドラム、バイオリン、オルガンサウンドなどで構成され、ゆっくりで落ち着いた雰囲気のソフトロックとなっている。途中まではもっとゆっくりな曲だったが、友人から遅すぎると言われ、柳はテンポを変え、ボーカルを最初から録音し直した。
​MVは北海道の函館市の12ヶ所、森町の2ヶ所、七飯町の1ヶ所で撮影し、過去の記憶を巡るような内容となっている。
Lyrics

I am away from you
To be closer to you
I don't know where I am
But I know this is not the end

I am just standing here
Where is nowhere
Where nobody knows me
Where I am not exist

If I disappear one day
Would you find me?
Would you remember
I was existed in your life?

People say I am stupid
But I don't care at all
Because I already know
As much as I love you

If I could do it all again
Would smile at me
Under the beautiful sunlight
Forever and ever?

If I could do it all again
Would you lean on me
Under the thousands of stars
Forever and ever?
