Simple And Clean is the [[Kingdom Hearts]] theme song for the US/Global release. It should be noted that the the original Japanese version, [[Hikari (Utada Hikaru)|Hikari]], is sung in a different style and has different lyrics. Simple And Clean was written before Hikari, and uses the same chorus as does [[Uso Mitai na I Love You]] instead of the usual Hikari chorus.
