“Hit Me With Your Love” explores themes of infatuation and empowerment, featuring English and Japanese lyrics and Anna’s powerful vocals that shine through every verse and embody the strength of a woman who knows what she’s worth. Anna elaborated, “Your actions speak louder than words. You think you’re worth my time? You want me in your life? Show me what you’re all about!”
“Hit Me With Your Love” was co-written by 9-X Diamond, Grammy-nominated producer Louis Bell (Post Malone, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber), and 6-X Japan Gold Disc Winner Michael Africk (Mai Kuraki, Zard, Jordan Knight). The song follows the monumental success of Anna Aya’s debut single, “Someone Else,” which reached #2 on Japan’s USEN Chart, #46 on the U.S radio charts, and was featured on the Vision Screen Billboard at the famous Shibuya Miyamasuzaka intersection in Tokyo.
