Utada Hikaru covered Kaye Ballard's 1954 love ballad (though made famous by Frank Sinatra in the 60's) as one of the the b-sides to her Wait & See ~Risk~ single. However, a month later this was released on vinyl with exclusive remixes. Included with the vinyl release was a sweepstakes competition for a DVD that included the animated PV for Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words). Utada Hikaru later sung this live at the World Economic Forum on Jan. 31st in New York City.
