Karma (Kokia song)

"Karma" is a song by Kokia, released as her 20th single on April 22, 2009. It was used as the first opening theme song for the anime Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom, and would later feature in an edited version on the anime's soundtrack. Her song "Transparent" would be used as the second ending theme song for the same anime.

The song was covered on the album Exit Trance Presents Speed Anime Trance Best 8 by MK feat. R. Cena, later in November 2009.

Background

"Karma" was released only a month after Kokia's 9th and 10th studio albums Kokia Infinity Akiko: Balance and Akiko Infinity Kokia: Balance. The single was her first release through anime retailer Lantis, as opposed to her usual release label Victor Entertainment. Kokia had released game/anime theme songs on a different label twice in her career: once through Victor Entertainment in 1998 while she was still signed to Pony Canyon ("Ai no Field" for anime Brain Powerd) and once through Marvelous Entertainment in 2008 ("Tatta Hitotsu no Omoi" for Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino).

Karma (Alicia Keys song)

"Karma" is a song by American singer and songwriter Alicia Keys, taken from her second studio album, The Diary of Alicia Keys (2003).

A mashup of "Karma" with Stevie Wonder's 1972 hit "Superstition" titled "Karmastition", produced by Go Home Productions, exists. "Karma" became The Diary of Alicia Keys's first release to fail to achieve top ten status on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop, peaking at number 20 and 17, respectively.

Content

In the song, the narrator's lover who had left her returns and wants to start a new relationship, but she has moved on. Her lover is now in the position she was once in, and in being rejected receives their just deserts ("what goes around comes around"). The title references the popular conception of karma as getting what one deserves.
