Oh, wow, a perfect ranking. I probably ranked it too high since I saw people posting about how much they loved it and, well, I felt cruel putting it last...

I really wanna tell you something This is just the way I am"You Make Me Want to Be a Man" is the fourth and last single from Exodus (released in UK only). Critics and fans have regarded this throbbing electro-pop number as one of Utada's earliest feminist tracks (she was 21 at that time). Criticizing gender roles in a heterosexual marriage relationship, the song was widely suspected to be a reflection of Utada's deteriorating relationship with her then-husband, photographer/director Kazuaki Kiriya, who directed its accompanying music video.

"You Make Me Want to Be a Man" was ROBBED. This slapped. I love the song's lyrics and feminist message (hello Ciara?? hello Beyonce??), but it is one of the weaker songs from Exodus. Not much replay value really.

My instincts says I ought to keep you free But I don't dislike exclusivity"Blow My Whistle" is the first English-language release by Utada as part of her American label Def Jam's Rush Hour 2 Soundtrack, which peaked at #11 on the Billboard 200 in 2001. The song features a verse by Foxy Brown and a writing and production credit by The Neptunes aka Pharrell and Chad Hugo. It is one of the only a handful of Utada songs that is not produced by herself.

Breath, should I take a deep? Faith, should I take a leap?"Face My Fears" is the opening theme for the game Kingdom Hearts 3 released in 2019. This song features production by American DJ Skrillex (who's a diehard KH fan himself) and charted on Hot 100 at #98 following its digital release, marking Utada's first ever main chart entry in the US. Both the Japanese and English versions, alongside its A.G. Cook Remix, are included in her new Japanese album BAD MODE dropped this January.

If we are ranking A.G. Cook remix of Face My Fears, it will not be my last place.

Such a MASSIVE step down from 'Simple & Clean' and 'Sanctuary'. Those songs had charm, which this one is just lacking. How this managed to outlast some of these other songs is a choice.

FYI, we're gonna be up all night I'll see you later, call me You know my number"FYI" is track #3 from Utada's second English-language album This Is The One. The R&B ballad samples the theme song of Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, the 1983 movie that famously depicts the homoerotic relationship between a British and a Japanese solider played by David Bowie and Ryuichi Sakamoto, who also composed the very theme song. Upon release, the song quickly became a fan favorite and was selected as the second single from the album, later being replaced by the more mainstream-sounding "The One (Crying Like a Child)", and then "Dirty Desire".
