Utada's vocal range spans between the notes G3 to G5, specifically between the chorus lyrics: "When you walk away / You don't hear me say / Please oh baby don't go / Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight / It's hard to let it go". [43]
Written in the same key as Utada's single "Sanctuary" (2006) and the song "Dearly Beloved" from the Kingdom Hearts video game series, "Face My Fears" is an electronic dance number with elements of future bass, featuring varying tempos and structure changes. The song's lyrics are about taking risks in life and confronting one's own fears.
In 2006, Utada released her fifth studio album, Ultra Blue, led by the digital single "This Is Love".In February 2007, Utada released "Flavor of Life", the theme song for the drama Hana Yori Dango Returns, which became one of her most commercially successful singles, selling over eight million downloads and becoming the second most digitally successful song of 2007 globally.
This Is the One marked Utada's last album with Island Records, and the Universal Music Group at that time, not only due to the end of her contract, but also due to her 2010 global recording contract with EMI Music. All albums, regardless of language, will be released under "Hikaru Utada", thus also retiring her Western stage name, Utada. [5]
