About Movin' on Without You

"Movin' On Without You" is a song recorded by Japanese–American singer and producer Hikaru Utada taken from her debut studio album First Love (1999). The song was written, composed and produced by Utada herself, and became her first ever single to have been done by her. "Movin' On Without You" was written, produced and composed while Utada was attending college in Tokyo, Japan, during 1997. Utada, who received a record contract by Toshiba-EMI, had written an English-language version of the song, but the song remains unreleased. Musically, the song utilizes dance-oriented music from the mid-1990s and also incorporates the use of R&B music from the parent album and house music. Lyrically, the song talks about an independent woman who can deal outside of a relationship. The song received favorable reception from most music critics, who praised the musical arrangement and praised Utada's vocals and songwriting. Some have even dubbed the song as a "J-Pop classic" and view it as a memorable song in Japanese music. An accompanying music video was shot for the single, which featured Utada on a chair in a computer lab and dancing to the song.

Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me
Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me
夜中の3時am 枕元のPHS
鳴るの待ってる
バカみたいじゃない
時計の鐘が鳴る おとぎ話みたいに
ガラスのハイヒール
見つけてもダメ
構うのが面倒なら 早く教えて
私だって そんなに
暇じゃないんだから
I'm movin' on without you
フザけたアリバイ
知らないフリはもう出来ない
こんな思い出ばかりの
二人じゃないのに
せつなくなるはずじゃなかったのに
どうして
いいオンナ演じるのは
まだ早すぎるかな
Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me

用意したセリフは 完璧なのに また
電波届かない 午前4時
静かすぎる夜は 考えが暴れ出すの
分かってるのに 結局寝不足
あんな約束 もう忘れたよ
指輪も返すから 私のこころ返して
I have to go without you
くやしいから 私から別れてあげる
いいオンナ演じるのも
楽じゃないよね
せつなくなるはずじゃなかったのに
どうして
いいオンナ演じるのは
まだ早すぎるかな
Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me
とまどいながらでもいいから
愛してほしい
そんなこと言わなくても
わかってほしいのに
せつなくなるはずじゃなかったのに
どうして
いいオンナ演じるのは
まだ早すぎるかな
Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me
Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me
Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me
Nothing's gonna stop me
Only you can stop me...
