COMMENTARY


WANT ME, WANT ME was initially supposed to be released as an album track of Queen of Hip-Pop or a coupling song, but Amuro Namie thought it was so good she made it a single despite the opposition of her staff.

She only learnt the meaning of some of the English lyrics (the crudest words) 1 or 2 years later.
