From when she was little, Nishino learned English from eikaiwa schools, and went to America twice. She then was interested in various genres of music, including hip-hop, R&B and reggae. On the other hand, she also enjoyed traditional Japanese literature, and started singing Japanese folk songs. Her dream of becoming a singer started from junior high school. When she was 16 her mother secretly sent a demo tape of hers to the Miss Phoenix Audition (ミス・フェニックスオーディション).
In 2007, while preparing to be a singer, she was also studying English literature at university. At the time she met Australian duo Nervo, who offered Nishino a song called "I Don't Wanna Know" for use in her music project. Nishino rewrote the song's lyrics into Japanese herself, and re-titled it I.
In December 2007 her official site opened, and from that time onwards *I* ~Merry Christmas ver.~ was available as a digital download from several Japanese sites, including mora.jp. Interestingly, the original version of the song "I Don't Wanna Know" was available as a digital download on the American iTunes from New Years' Day onwards. The physical version was released two months later, on the 20th of February.

The song "I'll be there" by 西野カナ (Kana Nishino) is a comforting ballad that assures the listener that they are not alone, and that the singer will always be there for them. The lyrics start off by complimenting the listener and telling them that they are loved by everyone. Even though they may have become alone, the singer reassures them that they are strong, confident, and they will be alright. The singer encourages the listener by telling them that they can share their sadness and fears, and there is no need to be afraid. The chorus repeats the phrase "So I'll be there forever," emphasizing that the singer's support is not temporary, but everlasting.
The second verse reveals the more delicate and vulnerable side of the singer. She admits that she is a crybaby and a little too naive, but still wants to take care of the listener. The singer then makes a promise to protect the listener from anyone who could hurt them. The chorus repeats again, underlining that the singer's promise to be there is unbreakable. The bridge speaks about the future and the unknown happiness that lies ahead. It encourages the listener to gain experience, grow stronger, and continue to walk down the path with the singer, together. Finally, the song reassures the listener one last time that no matter what happens, the singer will always be there.
Overall, the lyrics of "I'll be there" is a beautiful message about the importance of companionship, support, and love. It reminds us that even when we feel like we are alone, we are not, and there's always someone who will be there for us.
