Automatic (Hikaru Utada song)

"Automatic" is a song by Japanese recording artist Hikaru Utada from her debut studio album, ''First Love'' (1999). The song was released on 8 December 1998, as her debut A-side single with "Time Will Tell". "Automatic" was co-written and co-produced by Hikaru with her father Teruzane Utada and Akira Miyake. Backed by keyboards and electric guitars, it is an R&B track. The lyrics revolve around love and relationships.
"Automatic" was lauded from music critics, some who highlighted the track as an album stand-out and commended the lyrical, vocal and song writing delivery. Many critics have recognized "Automatic" as one of best Japanese music singles and one of Utada's best efforts. Released in Japan only, it peaked at numbertwo and four on the Oricon Singles Chart in both 8cm and 12cm formats, respectively. "Automatic" peaked at number one on the Japanese Count Down TV chart.
Promoting the single on live TV shows in Japan, Utada performed the track on her ''Bohemian Summer 2000 Tour'', Utada: In the Flesh 2010 and the Wild Life Tour. Tomu Izawa directed the song's music video, which features Utada sitting in a dark-lit room on an armchair and in front of a blue-and-white backdrop. Selling over 2.1 million physical units, it remains Utada's highest selling single in terms of the CD single; her highest selling single is "Flavor of Life", which sold over 5.7 million units in both digital, physical and ringtone units.〔
==Background==
Hikaru Utada's track "Automatic" appears on her debut sophomore album, ''First Love'' (1999). Born and raised in Manhattan, New York City, Utada started singing at a very young age; she was a member of U, a musical act with her mother Keiko Fuji and her father Teruzane. U released their debut album ''Star'' in 1993, with the hope to debut in America; the album only peaked at thirty-three in Japan. Utada's mother was a Japanese enka singer and actress, while her father was a Japanese record producer who had contributed to some of Fuji's work. In 1996, the group was re-branded as Cubic U, an R&B project that focused primarily on Hikaru, resulting in the English language album ''Precious'' in 1998 with record label Toshiba EMI.〔(【引用サイトリンク】) ">url=http://artist.cdjournal.com/d/precious/1198020184 )〕 The album peaked at two on the Oricon Albums Chart and sold over 700,000 units.
Utada moved to Tokyo in early-1997 to attend Seisen International School and American School in Japan. During her studies, Utada signed as a solo artist with Toshiba EMI and begun recording her album ''First Love''. Fluent in both English and Japanese languages, the head offices at EMI asked if she could write Japanese songs rather than English lyrics. During the process of the album, Utada desired to become a singer-songwriter and occasionally practised producing and composing her music rather than become an Japanese idol. She refused to allow talent agencies to contact her at the start, which was a very common tradition for Japanese singers in the 1990s, and her father started to manage her work along with producing and composing it; to this day, her father continues to manage and co-produce some of her work.
