Eyes on Me (Superfly song)

"Eyes on Me" is the eleventh single by Japanese recording artist Superfly, released on December 15, 2010. The title track, described as a "classic winter ballad" (冬の王道バラード, fuyu no ōdō barādo),[1] is used as the theme song for the PlayStation Portable game The 3rd Birthday.[2][3][4] The single was released as a standard CD release and a limited edition CD+DVD bundle. "Rescue Me" and "Prima Donna" serve as the single's B-sides.[5] The DVD included with the first pressings of the single features an "Official Bootleg Live DVD" of Superfly's performance at the Monster Bash 2010 music festival on August 23, 2010.[6] "Eyes on Me" has since been nominated for the 2011 Space Shower Music Video Award for best female video.[7]
