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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ah ah-ah-ah-ah I never do you wrong
Love is over I know that 一人きりでも

Boy いつの日にか 忘れられる時まで
You've got me got me wrong wrong wrong
You've got me got me wrong wrong wrong
You've got me wrong wrong wrong
You've got me got me wrong wrong wrong
Love is over you know what?
キレイな思い出も アドレスも全部消した
なのに今更 その場しのぎの
優しさで引き止めないで

The lyrics to 西野カナ's song "WRONG" convey a sense of empowerment and determination in the face of a broken relationship. The singer asserts that they have never done anything wrong to their partner and that love is now over. Despite being alone, they no longer cry and are no longer fooled by empty words and superficial love. They have made a decision to never look back and affirm that they will never return because they no longer belong to their partner.
The chorus emphasizes the misconception that the partner has about the singer. The partner has misunderstood them and continues to do so. The singer desires to stay strong and wants to become stronger until the day they can forget their partner. They express frustration at being held on by the partner's temporary kindness.
In the second verse, the singer removes all the beautiful memories and contact information, implying a symbolic cleansing of the past. However, they wonder why the partner continues to give false hope and make them feel pain. The singer has made a decision and yet the partner keeps provoking them with sweet expectations.
Overall, the lyrics of "WRONG" depict a protagonist who is determined to move on and find strength in themselves, despite the misunderstandings and pain caused by their partner.
