Atsumi told rhythm guitarist/vocalist Miku Kobato, she wanted a song where the audience could take a break and she could sing calmly. It took about a month to arrange the music. She was told to incorporate elements of tropical house and EDM and make it more like Band-Maid. Tōno composed 'Daydreaming', after Atsumi requested a ballad. The lyrics for 'Alive-or-Dead' are about cryptocurrency. The lyrics for 'Carry On Living' were inspired by the Japanese film March Comes in Like a Lion. 'One and Only' was the first song written for the album. It was previously released on the Daydreaming/Choose Me single. Kobato made the lyrics with a strong sense of a scene where everyone is having a good time. Tōno was asked to make a song that would be popular at festivals. Lead vocalist Saiki Atsumi, told lead guitarist Kanami Tōno, to write a song based on the image of world domination.

The working title for 'Domination' was 'World Domination' which was then used as the album title.

'I Can't Live Without You.' and 'Dice' were both considered to be released as the lead song, but ultimately 'Domination' was chosen instead. The song 'Carry On Living' was used on the anime Quiz Tokiko-san. The international version of the album from JPU Records includes English lyric translations, Romaji transliterations and bonus track ' Honey'. The album debuted at number nine on the Japanese Oricon Albums Chart, selling 8,140 copies in its first week. Music videos were made for the single ' Daydreaming', the lead track 'Domination' and the last track 'Dice'. It was released on February 14, 2018, and was supported with the World Domination Tour 2018. World Domination is the fifth studio album by Japanese all-female rock band Band-Maid.
