I LOVE IT



I think it's way better than the regular R&B ballad, and it indeed sounds very beyonce/chris brown-ish. But I love it!

I wish it was a little more catchy though, don't we americans love catchy music

I guess it's okay. It disappoints me a little, because I didn't want her to do this, but, i can't really blame her.
I wish it were catchier too! But let's see how it does

I like it , it's really nice

for a moment I thought Utada was covering Vanessa Hudgens's Come Back To Me but thankfully it's an original song

hopefully a PV will be shot for the song

Its okay, but not as good as Utada can do and what she has done in her Japanese songs!. But, well I kinda love it because Utada sings it and I just think her voice is really amazing.

The song is OK.

The lyrics are cheesy, and the music is too generic.

But I did like it more before reading all the negative comments on here lol.

I think it's okay, not as amazing as Stay Gold was, just a same kind of a R&B song like everything else nowadays. Seriously, I hear songs like Come Back To Me too much in Finland too.

Yet I'm sure that she won't release the single in Finnish radios and I still liked the song so I'd like to hear it when it comes. Song sounds a lot more promising than Exodus imo.

Meh. Hope the rest of the album doesn't sound like this. If it gives her exposure though, I guess it's okay.

I do like the guitar at the end.

So awful and generic :/ I'm so disappointed

Quote:
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.
I agree I can't stand UTADA's lyrics >_>'

I really like the song so much... I hope it gets some airplay or exposure in the US, sound like something that could succeed there

I definitely see the Mariah comparsion. Very standard R&B ballad with some cheesy lyrics. Crossing my fingers for the rest of the album to be better.

It's a little less than okay just b/c it's Utada and she's better than this. It's tolerable.
