''GENIUS 2000'' is the third studio album by [[Amuro Namie]]. This is her first studio record since 1997's ''[[Concentration 20]]'', after taking a year-long hiatus from the recording industry to give birth to her son.  After working on her previous album, which was noted more of a vision of [[Komuro Tetsuya]] and not Amuro herself, she wanted to record music that she felt connected to. With this record, she enlisted American R&B producer [[Wikipedia:Dallas Austin|Dallas Austin]], starting with the hip-hop influenced "[[Something 'Bout the Kiss|SOMETHING 'BOUT THE KISS]]". The album also introduced an edgier image of Amuro, who was one of the first female Japanese singers to display tattoos at the time. The song "[[Love 2000 (Amuro Namie)|LOVE 2000]]" was released two weeks earlier as the album's lead-in single, which was co-written by [[Wikipedia:Sheila E.|Sheila E.]], who also worked on "[[Give It a Try|GIVE IT A TRY]]".
