To be honest I'm afraid to listen to it! I don't want to ruin the surprise just yet like I did BIG time with GUILTY. So I'm debating whether I should take a listen or not lol.

I love it! I was so hoping it'd just be laid back and easy listening, and it is! (it does have some creepiness though, but I like it) I also think it's a very different sound for her.

I like it :3
Maybe I need more listens to love it, but overall it's a really nice song.
Like a better version of vogue (vogue it's pretty boring in my opinion)

I feel the same way! It's an easy listen but it's still hot & sexy. It's a sexy little thing. ;D

LOL I was trying to restrain myself but I couldn't, I listened until the 1 minute mark.

I got to say it's different, I love the music but her vocals are a bit off to me.

It's like a better vogue, with elements of criminal and a toned down INSPIRE melody..
I love it. A LOT. It's tied with Microphone... CAN'T WAIT FOR THE PV. I'm expecting something exotic.

i love the hindi's style

unfortunately the song is too repetitive,& the verse to low & short for me
but i like the chorus
(it's reminds me of kalafina's song on her new album)

well,this song really better than what i thought before on the CM

eww. I really dont like it. she tries to be different and try more cultural genre but it turned bad. Kuu could do it very well with Shake it and Candy but Ayu cant.

I love it! I wish they speed up the song a little bit, but for now, its very good. I'm intrested in seeing the tour performance, belly dance???

It does sound a little like "How deep is your love" from Dru Hill

Hmm.. I disagree and think Ayu pulled it off a lot better, it just sounds more original and meaningful to me with Don't look back. But those Koda songs are catchy.

Hmm, she CAN pull it off...she did it just fine with INSPIRE, which is a great song.
Don't look back is a really nice song. I did get an INSPIRE feel from it, which made me really enjoy it. I believe R'n'R C will be a superb album all the way through.

I respect the path she's taking with the song, doing something different, but I found it somehow boring and unimpressive... Well, maybe a HQ, the video or a live will make me change my mind

okay.. sounds Inspire-ish
But verse + chorus = boring IMO.. I expect more powerful song
I only like the bridge part..
