The album's title Time Flies means "time passes surprisingly quickly",[5] which is a "perfect word" to describe 10-year period of the group.[4] On October 26, Erika Ikuta, a first generation member announced to graduate from the group on December 31 on her official blog. She said the greatest hits album is her last record that will appear.[6] Later, Ikuta serves as a center position of the lead single "Saigo no Tight Hug".[7] On November 18, Mai Shinuchi, a second generation member, announced graduation from the group in late January 2022 on her radio show Nogizaka46's All Night Nippon. She revealed her graduation song, titled "Anata kara no Sotsugyō" for the first time on the radio show. The song will be included on Time Flies.[8]
