"Depend on You" is the fifth single released by Ayumi Hamasaki on December 9, 1998. The single contains a b-side, "Two of Us," which was never released on an album. Both songs were featured in the PlayStation RPG "Thousand Arms."
This single was re-released on February 28, 2001, featuring five new tracks. The single was re-released for the fact that it was initially released in 1999 only in the 3" CD format which was being replaced by the new standard "maxi" CD format. The single was re-released in the standard maxi format for wider compatibility.
Depend on You was also remixed and released in Mirrorcle World for her 10th anniversary of chart-topping singles.
The music video for "Depend on you" was directed by Muto Masashi. It depicts Hamasaki singing while on a "journey" of sorts – a road is shown, and she sings at various natural locales, including a mountain and a pond.

Broken glass lies on the bedroom floor
A broken dream lies in my head
I was counting on a big surprise
But I got a big surprise instead
I didn't know people could change
So fast I didn't see the game you played
Now the morning finds me somewhere
In the past hanging on the promises we made
I know that life is just a big and restless ocean
With the wind and the water always changin' view
And I've always been the kind didn't count on much
But I thought I could depend on you, yeah
Weatherman says it's gonna rain today
And yes, I believe, he's right
My face is feeling just a little bit wet
With a big storm coming through tonight
I know that life is just a big and restless ocean
With the wind and the water always changin' view
And I've always been the kind didn't count on much
