The band's first release was the independently produced "D.A.N. Zine" (2014), which was followed by "EP" (2015) – their debut EP – and a performance at Rookie A Go Go at Fuji Rock Festival 2015. Following much anticipation, the band released their self-titled debut album in April 2016.

The lyrics to D.A.N.'s song "Don" speak to the singer's admiration for a woman's physical appearance. The song opens with the singer commenting on the woman's dark skin and juicy lips, indicating that these features play a significant role in his attraction to her. Throughout the chorus, he emphasizes her bad ass nature, reinforcing his desire for her. He mentions that he has traveled the world and not found a woman who initiates a kiss like she does. However, the singer acknowledges that he does not want to pressure her into anything, telling her not to worry about giving it up if she is not comfortable.
Later in the song, the singer comments on another woman who seems interested in him and alludes to a potential threesome. Despite this, he insists that his interest lies solely with the woman he is singing about. He claims that he wants to learn from her and be with her, no matter the challenges he may face. Ultimately, the song conveys the singer's intense physical attraction to a particular woman and his desire to be with her.

For those who both don’t know Japanese and don’t use Closed Captions, Mumei’s voice is adjusted according to the lyrics.
Basically, almost every line is of the form “Getting ____ and ______”, using the same word for both, like “Getting closer and closer,” or “Getting deeper and deeper.” Her voice is then changed through software to match the line.
0:00 and 0:51 – Her voice fades in (for the start) and gets louder for “closer”, “nearer”, and “louder”. It briefly gains a whisper quality for “shier”.
0:28 – It becomes pitched down for “wider” and “deeper”.
0:32 – It becomes pitched up for “thinner” and “cuter”.
0:37 – It uses the stereo speakers, too, moving from the left speaker to the right speaker for the line, “Gradually moving from left to right.”
0:42 – It then moves from the right speaker to the left speaker for the line, “Gradually moving from right to left.”
1:18 – Finally, it fades out and gets softer and quieter for “further” and “fainter”.
