& Intelligence takes much inspiration from Flash Back 90's from beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS, sharing the same genre as well as a similar music structure and many of the same vocal samples.
& Intelligence briefly samples naughty girl@Queen's Palace and Mind Mapping, both from beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS.
- It also uses the "close your eyes" sample that was also used in 3y3s, as well as other samples from ALL I NEED YOUR LOVE and Colorful Cookie, also from EMPRESS.
An extended version of & Intelligence appears in lapix's Flying Method album.

& Intelligence is the ARC SCORE.V song of beatmania IIDX 26 Rootage's ARC SCORE EXTRA STAGE system. It can be played from April 11th, 2019. Its theme is EMPRESS.
- When playing & Intelligence in ARC SCORE, the frame switches to a design based on beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS's own frame.
- From February 6th, 2020, its charts can be purchased in beatmania IIDX 27 HEROIC VERSE with Tone discharger (トーンディスチャージャー).
- As of beatmania IIDX 28 BISTROVER, it is available by default.
lapix briefly appears in & Intelligence's video, mimicking kors k's pose in Flash Back 90's.
The notecount for the Single ANOTHER chart, 1623, might be referencing both beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS, the style which & Intelligence is designed to represent, and beatmania IIDX 23 copula, the style in which lapix contributed his first KONAMI original song for the beatmania IIDX series.
& Intelligence is the first song in the ARC SCORE EXTRA STAGE system whose artist does not correspond to a style they composed/debuted in.
& Intelligence was added to beatmania IIDX ULTIMATE MOBILE on December 9th, 2020.
& Intelligence is available in beatmania IIDX INFINITAS (2020) as part of beatmania IIDX INFINITAS Music Pack vol.17 (beatmania IIDX INFINITAS 楽曲パック vol.17).
