"Go Round" (released with "Yeah-Oh" as "Go Round/Yeah-Oh") is a song by Japanese recording artist Namie Amuro from her tenth studio album Uncontrolled (2012).
"Go Round" was written by Aili, produced by T-Sk and co-composed by Tesung Kim and Australian duo Nervo.
With a cover sleeve, photographed by Takaki Kumada, showing Amuro in front of a blurry window pane, "Go Round" was recorded both in English and Japanese language and is a dance-pop song.
"Go Round" received mixed reviews from music critics, many of whom highlighted it from the Uncontrolled album and commended the composition while some felt the production and lyrics were generic and regressive.
[1] Both "Go Round" and "Yeah-Oh" are Amuro's first collaborations with Nervo, who later went on to compose "Hot Girls", "Love Story" and "Let's Go" from the album Uncontrolled (2012).
[2] David Cirone from J-Generation commended the composition, but criticized the English versions by explaining, "The album’s one disappointing move is the re-recording (re-English-ing) of the double-A-single 'Go Round/Yeah-Oh'.
Both songs contained a beautiful blend of English/Japanese in their original release a few months prior, but on the 'album version' they’ve gone full-English, and it’s a step backwards.
[16][17][18] "Go Round" was used as the TV commercial theme song for Japanese cosmetic company Kosee for their launch of Esprique lipstick.
