Dirty Desire

"Dirty Desire" is a song by Japanese-American singer-songwriter Utada. The single is known as Dirty Desire: The Remixes. It was released digitally as the second single from This Is the One, on December 21, 2009,[1] mostly in aid of supporting Utada's then up-coming tour, Utada: In The Flesh 2010.

Dirty Desire (Mike Rizzo Radio Edit) was featured on Utada's first English compilation album, Utada the Best.

Composition

The song itself is about fantasizing over someone who is already in a relationship (somewhat similar to Tippy Toe from 2004's EXODUS). It features repetition of the title, as though "dirty desire" is the only thing that can be thought of when thinking of said person. It has playful lyrics, with Utada toying with her Japanese heritage with the line "And in my fantasies I love you long time". The song itself features synths and a very prominent drum beat, that lasts throughout the entire song. It finishes with the repeated line "Bring that beat back!" before fading out.

Promotion and Reception

The song was mainly released as a single to promote Utada's then up-coming tour, Utada: In The Flesh 2010, and although classed as a single, no music video was produced, nor was there much else in way of promotional activities.

During his review for This Is the One, Daniel Robson of The Japan Times stated that the song is almost x-rated, particularly on the line "During my 9 to 5 / I'm thinking six and nine". He also added "Is this what it takes to find Stateside success? Whoring yourself both musically and lyrically?".[2]
