Uncontrolled is the tenth studio album by Japanese singer Namie Amuro, released on June 27, 2012. It is Amuro's first original album since Past<Future (2009) and her first original album for her 20th anniversary of her debut. It was released in three formats: CD+DVD, CD and Playbutton (limited edition). Uncontrolled consists mostly of songs performed in Japanese, but was also Amuro's first album to feature several songs sung entirely in English, including "Go Round", "Yeah-Oh", "In The Spotlight (Tokyo)," "Hot Girls", and "Only You".
Uncontrolled was met with mostly positive reviews from music critics and was shortlisted at the Asia Association Music Prize Awards. The album became a commercial success and spent three weeks at number one on Oricon Albums Chart, becoming Amuro's second album to achieve this after Best Fiction (2008) spent six weeks at number one. The album was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan. This was her fifth consecutive number one album since 2007, and her sixth consecutive double platinum album since 2005. Amuro promoted the album by embarking on the Namie Amuro 5 Major Domes Tour across Asia between 2012 and 2013.
