Information

First Love is Utada Hikaru's first album (besides Precious released under the pseudonym 'Cubic U'). The album reached #1 in weekly Oricon charts and charted for 85 weeks. It reportedly sold over 7,650,000 copies in Japan, and the official world tally for the number of albums sold is 10,056,000. This made First Love the #1 album for 1999, as well as the highest-selling album in Japanese music history.

The vinyl edition was released three months later after the album, and contained a bonus track, "First Love (John Luongo Remix)". This remix originally appeared on the "First Love" single.

All the songs on this album were written and composed by Utada herself, except for two instances: a line used in "Amai Wana ~Paint It, Black" taken from a The Rolling Stones song, and a sample for "Never Let Go", taken from a song by Sting.
