"Hatsukoi" is a song by Japanese-American singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada. It is their fifth single under the label Epic Records Japan and was taken from their seventh Japanese-language studio album Hatsukoi. The song was released as a digital download on May 30 and was used as a tie-in for the Japanese television drama Hana Nochi Hare - Hanadan Next Season. It's the second song that Utada delivered to the series, after Flavor of Life in 2007.
This song and "First Love" from the 1999 album of the same name inspired the 2022 Netflix series First Love. In December 2022, "Hatsukoi" was remastered alongside "First Love" in Dolby Atmos.
