Referenced songs include Matryoshka, Melt, Senbonzakura, Mozaik Role, and Children Record. Layered throughout the song are phrases that pay tribute to multiple Vocaloid songs that had been previously released. Furthermore, he incorporated the idea of passing the baton over to the next generation of creators. He wrote his lyrics with the decrease in users on Nico Nico in mind, relating it to a desert. He wanted to introduce a new style and genre of music that employed a slight hip-hop nuance to the Nico Nico Douga community which would be characterized by vocals that rhyme quickly. Compared to the average BPM of music that Yonezu produced under Hachi, this was considerably low and showed a conscious decision to promote a different style of production than before.

The song title was taken from the novel series by American author Frank Herbert. He came to realize that that would be the theme for his next song. He noticed that earlier music was from a clearly different era than present-day music (including a decrease in the number of views, as well as fewer producers), and felt that the lack of visitors to Nico Nico Douga seemed like a "desert". Hachi had received an offer to compose the theme song for Hatsune Miku Magical Mirai 2017, to celebrate the 10th year of Hatsune Miku, and watched many music videos on Nico Nico Douga while thinking about whether or not to accept it. After his major debut, he had not produced any Vocaloid songs since Donut Hole in 2013 and DUNE was the first VOCALOID song released in roughly 4 years.

Backgroundīefore his major debut, Hachi had been producing music using VOCALOID software under the moniker Hachi since 2009, and uploaded many of his works to the video platform, Nico Nico Douga. The song references other well-known VOCALOID songs, including Senbonzakura, Matryoshka, "Panda Hero", " Melt", and "World's End Dancehall".
