We even got upbeat stuff on Trouble. Even if most of Ayu's discography is lyrics focused, there are those tracks the lyrics are so central the melody and arragment are used more as a background sound meant to not distract you from what is written than anything else... This song and The way I am are both produced with that mindset.

And that's fine... Those won't be on my repeat list, even because I don't speak japanese, but they tend to be the moments she is being more open and transparent about her feelings, and that serves a purpose on her body of work.
