[edit] Information

Body Feels EXIT can be considered as her third single because she featured exclusively on Stop the music and Taiyou no SEASON, her two previous singles with the Super Monkey's. It also marks the beginning of the collaboration beetween Namie and Tetsuya Komuro. The song can be described as an upbeat dance track. Body Feels EXIT was a huge hit at the time and still today one of the singer's most popular songs and a fan favourite. The original version of the song did not appear on her first studio album SWEET 19 BLUES, but featured on her first greatest hits compilation 181920.
