This will get it the exposure it deserves. And as I've stated probably hundreds of times, SONG OF THE YEAR.

Whoa, that's quite a statement to be making a week into the new year!

It's a very standard sounding R&B ballad. It's nice, but there's nothing special about it. Although I am glad it's not all electronic sounding like practically every song on Exodus. The last track on that album, which featured a real acoustic guitar, was like a sudden breath of fresh air.

BUT I HATE how Hikki changes what she's all about in her US songs. It's like....so fake. Her Japanese songs have all these domestic, honest feelings about "turn off the TV and look only at me" (hikari) or "when I see my weak face in the mirror, I want to smash it" (keep tryin'). Then her US songs are full of all this superficial, overdone crap like "boy, you're so hot, let's turn this room into a melting pot" or the "I cheated" BS in this song. I know those subjects are popular in US music, but come on. It's not her at all.

Amen

Utada can make beautiful songs with actual meaning in japanese. But this did not happen this time There's nothing special about this song. (in other words, booooooooring lol)

It's alright.... Sounds too much like what you hear on the radio though...

[pommy48]

bah~ how can you not love it <3
though still not one of hikki's best~

[love in music]

lame. boring.

[tinka69]

I really liked it at first but I got bored of it quickly.

[ohsixthirty]

i was really hoping for an upbeat song...

i guess this is ok, and i'm sure it will grow on me some, but its pretty repetetive honestly.

[Yoo Bin]

Yes I luv it! I just found it and I'm on my second listen. I can't listen to it too much. I wanna get a chance to hear it on the radio so I can feel the epicness of the song. lol

If you liked Green but not this song then I-I have to question your quote.

I really just don't understand how the two songs are comparable?

[Larisa-chan]

Sounds like every other song on the hip-hop/r&b radio stations in the US

Lyrics included. "Come back to me baby, I admitted I cheated now I regret it!"

I've already heard this song a thousand times already in the US

[Kikaru]

^IA

That said, I like it, even though it sound like something that Chris Brown or Beyonce would sing. However, since I like both of the artist, I don't really mind.

But I wonder since the song's less experimental than the stuff on Exodus, it might mean greater commercial success because American mainstream might like it better.

[NintendoHTF1242]

I really do love this song. It's catchy and sung really well <3

[AyUta]

I love it! Everything about it! What a great way to start off the new year~! I agree it sounds a lot like other songs on the radio, but I have a feeling this song will get Hikki noticed. It's more mainstream. I am sooo going to request this song on all the radio stations possible

I agree 100%. I love it, despite the fact that it sounds like everything we hear on the radios nowadays...HOWEVER that might be just what Hikki needs to get noticed in America .

[bondingo]

Lame. Way to not be original for once Hikki.

[stickyrice]

I LOVE IT! I'm like...a sucker for this kind of stuff lol

I wanna let my friend listen to it but considering she's an emotional wreck right now - I think I'll hold it off XD
