The album's title, Fortune's child, reflects Aiko's persistent belief in her own fortune. “I live in a blissfully naive state, where I believe that everything will always work out for me. That everything will be good. Some people might be born lucky, some might create the luckiness for themselves. Nevertheless, ever since I was a child, I believed that I’m very fortunate!”
With an unwavering conviction that everything happens for a reason, Aiko channels her emotions into this captivating body of work, delivering a cathartic and empowering journey for her listeners.
