Addicted To You is Utada Hikaru's fourth single. Addicted To You was the CM song for Sony's Media & Battery RED HOT Campaign, and there were even limited edition MD's released with Utada's name on them. Two versions were on the single, the Up-In-Heaven Mix and the Underwater Mix, though only the Up-In-Heaven Mix had radio play and its own PV. Produced & arranged by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for Flyte Tyme Productions. This single reached #1 on Oricon charts and charted for 16 weeks. Addicted To You was the #6 single of 1999 in Japan, as it had sold 1,290,000 singles by this point. Strangely, Addicted To You also became the #48 single of 2000, as into 2000 it sold 493,960 units. If the single were released earlier in 1999 or in 2000, it could have made the #2 spot easily in either of these yearly charts. This single reached #27 on World Charts for single airplay, and reached #48 for sales. The most recent figures (May 26, 2006) show that the singe sold 1,784,050 units total, making this Utada's most successful single of all-time.

Included in the single is a Japanese/English message; in which on the Japanese part Utada talks about starting up a new project (Distance). The English message was:

  • Jim, Terry, and everyone at Flyte Tyme Productions, making music with you guys is about as good as it gets! We have to do it again soon :) Dick, I really meant it when I said that you're one of the most attractive men I've met! ∞love∞ hikaru+
