The initial pressings of the album had four different covers. As of 2007, A Ballads surpassed the million mark with 1,041,000 copies sold.
"Rainbow" is the title track to her previous album Rainbow, but was not included on the album. As a promotion for both albums, the purchasers of the initial pressings of Rainbow were given a password to a website, where they could download part of instrumental version of the song, and submit their own lyrics. Over 100,000 people accessed the website. The tracklistings of initial pressings of the album Rainbow had track 00 that said "Rainbow", but the song was not included on the album, and was scheduled to be released as a single after participation ended.
Both "appears" and "M" were dramatically remixed by HAL to fit in with the ballad image of the album.
"YOU", "A Song for ××" were rearranged and resung for this album and added rocky and acoustic feel to the songs. These songs display the change in Hamasaki's voice since her debut.
"TO BE" and "SEASONS" were only minimally changed for the album with heavier percussions.
Who... "Across the Universe" was resung for the album and as suggested by Hamasaki herself, it was made to have a 'warmer' feel than the original track.
The final track, "卒業写真" (Sotsugyou sashin) was originally by 松任谷由実 (Yumi Matsutōya), and is the only cover that Ayumi Hamasaki has done to this date on an album.
The numbers in A Song for ×× "030213 Session #2"'s title is the date in which it was recorded (YYMMDD)
