About Red Carpet

"Red Carpet" is a song recorded by Japanese singer Namie Amuro. It was released on December 2, 2015 via Avex Trax and her label Dimension Point as the singer's third consecutive non-album single, being supported by B-side track "Black Make-Up". "Red Carpet" was distributed in two physical formats—a standard CD, and a CD and DVD bundle—and was made available for digital consumption. The recording was written and composed by Matthew Tishler, Paula Winger, Stephanie Lewis and Tiger, whilst production was handled by Tishler. Musically, the track features guitars, synthesizers, keyboards and drums as instrumentation. Lyrically, the songwriting focuses on themes of self-confidence, empowerment and narcissism, and uses the title as a metaphor for life experiences. Upon its release, "Red Carpet" received positive reviews from music critics, with them commending the production and pop-friendly delivery, and also highlighting the inclusion of "Black Make-Up". Commercially, it experienced moderate success in Japan, peaking inside the top five on both the Oricon Singles Chart and Japan Hot 100. An accompanying music video was directed by Hisashi Kikuchi, depicting Amuro through several streets at night, decorated by fairy lights. In order to promote "Red Carpet", it was used for a campaign hosted by Kosee, and was included on the singer's 2016 Livegenic concert tour in Japan and Asia.
