It goes from a relaxing sound to a more upbeat towards the middle and back and forth. Matches with the lyrics, I think. As for the lyrics, where does she come up with this? How does she do it? Must be a heck of a ride being in a romantic relatioship with her, like the song suggests. What a song and what an artist is all I have to say. I like BoA too, but I'd like to hear something written from herself though.

About Me is one of Utada's most under-rated songs. Actually the whole Exodus album is under-rated.

Yeah it is pretty F*n good. I'm glad she chose to end the album this way.. I cannot imagine if she let it end with let me give you my love or some other faster track.

As for the lyrics.. I don't think they are spectacular.. they just seem to be matching her maturity level at the time. (20-21 year old girl/woman).

You're right, EXODUS is truly a totally underrated album. It's such a shame people don't listen to the album to the end, as About Me is a very nice mellow track.
Most people skip straight to Kremlin Dusk, but I listen to the entire album, because it's such a nice variety of music.

I love About Me and Exodus. It's so original.

It's enjoyable to listen to. At first I was young and I thought the lyrics were crappy but now, I compare it to TiTO, I prefer the lyrics to Hotel Lobby and the others (not easy breezy though, nice song).

The songs that i usually skip are wonder bout and let me give you my love. the others are nice.

but i always listen to it when i'm down. dunno why.

I didn't like "about me" right away but there is one thing about "about me", the music kinda gave life to the lyrics , because after listening it to them a few times, the strong message of the song just stucks in my mind. Now i already grew to like it. And i love the transition from a slow tempo to an upbeat song too!

Haha, yeah i still can't listen to wonder 'bout, but i really like let me give you my love.

I love this Ballad. It's One Of My Favorite Utada song. I love Exodus, I think it's pretty and has meaning compared to TITO. I really love it!
It should have been a single for Exodus.
