But because 'Audience' and 'Whatever' used oneвЂ“worded phrases and 'Love: Since 1999' was not written by Hamasaki, it does not count in using EnglishвЂ“language conversation like she did in her 2002 album Rainbow. 'Audience' was her third song to incorporate an EnglishвЂ“language phrase, alongside her single 'Whatever' (February 1999) and the bвЂ“side to 'Love (Destiny)', 'Love: Since 1999' (May 1999). In comparison, Duty was a rockвЂ“influenced album and 'Audience' was the only dance track on the album. 'Audience' is a dance song that employs elements of disco music. HО›L played the keyboard, Suzuki played the guitar and all other instruments were handled by Dai Nagao. Max Matsuura produced both the single version and the album version, with additional production handling by Naoto Suzuki for the single version.

The song was recorded in midвЂ“2000 in Tokyo, Japan. She described her feelings after the writing as 'unnatural' and was constantly 'nervous' for the final result. In contrast to 'Audience', the trilogy singles focused on hopelessness, a reflection of Hamasaki's disappointment that she had not expressed herself thoroughly in any of her previous lyrics. Majority of the lyrics were about loneliness, chaos, confusion, and the burden of her responsibilities, aimed mostly towards her public image as an recording artist. Hamasaki begun work on Duty and followed a similar musical concept like her first two albums A Song for Г—Г— (January 1999) and Loveppears (November 1999). No music video was shot for the single.ДЄyumi Hamasaki's track 'Audience' appeared on her third studio album, Duty (2000). The single remains Hamasaki's twentyвЂ“seventh best selling single in Japan. It achieved lukewarm success in compare to her previous singles, with a peak position of number three on the Oricon Singles Chart and a gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). 'Audience' received positive reviews from music critics many highlighted it from the parent album and her music career. Musically, 'Audience' is a danceвЂ“pop and disco song. The single artwork was shot by Japanese photographer Toru Kumazawa and features duplicate clones of Hamasaki, resembling an audience.

Dai Nagao and HО›L composed both the single and album version. Hamasaki wrote the track and Max Matsuura Lewis produced it. It was released as the album's fifth and final single on 1 November 2000 by Avex Trax. ' Audience' is a song by Japanese recording artist Ayumi Hamasaki from her third studio album Duty (2001).
