Love songs is the twelfth full-length studio album released by Hamasaki Ayumi. The album was released in four versions: a CD+DVD edition, a CD-only edition, a limited micro SD + USB + DVD + LP-sized photobook edition and also a limited PLAYBUTTON edition. First pressings of the CD+DVD edition came with a cardboard slipcase and special serial-number card that grants access to exclusive digital cellphone content, while first pressings of the CD-only edition came with just the serial-number card. The USB features the songs in .wav format, as well as .aiff format. The album was released on the same day as "Dream ON", a collaboration single with Urata Naoya of AAA.
This is Hamasaki's first album to debut with sales of less than 200,000 copies in the first week. It is certified platinum for a shipment of 250,000 copies.
