「BLACK DIAMOND」は、TAKAKOのオファーに安室奈美恵が承諾して実現した。TAKAKOは「安室さんは100年に一人でるかでないかのスターであり、そんな彼女と是非曲を作ってみたかった。そして安室さんこそWE R&Bだと思った。」と。一方、安室奈美恵は「前から自分を表現するのがすごいたけている人だなぁと思っていました。PVとか見ててもサラっと流せない感じで見入ってしまいます。今回依頼を受けてDOUBLEさんとならどんな楽曲をやってもかっこよくなるなと思ったのでそこに迷いはありませんでした。」と語っている。歌詞は女宝石ハンターという設定で、ライバル同士がタッグを組んでブラックダイヤモンド（時にイイ男を指す）を盗みに行くという内容。コリオグラファーは、ビヨンセの振付をしたJONTE'&RAMON（ジョンテ&ラモーン）。
