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, 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.
