I love most of the songs on it (Humming 7/4 is still in my workout music rotation), but "About You" is still, in my opinion, just about the most perfect combination of Ayu's work--the music was bangin', the lyrics were powerful, her voice sounded perfect, and the video was out of this world. Whenever I want to explain Ayu to someone I show About You (or Mirrorcle World, but that didn't come until years later).
