This is ARASHI's 3rd original song they've released digitally after last Nov's Turning Up & July's IN THE SUMMER .
Bruno Mars & D'Mile co-wrote & co-composed Whenever You Call and it's a medium-tempo ballad with full English lyrics .
After finding out that ARASHI will be going on hiatus year end , Bruno Mars created Whenever You Call after listening to their songs & watching their live performances . ARASHI recorded Whenever You Call with vocal direction supervision from Bruno himself .
Whenever You Call summarises the feelings of the group who will be suspending activities at the end of 2020 . They hope to showcase their feelings to the fans through Whenever You Call , even after the group goes on hiatus .
I'm sure fans will be sold on Whenever You Call but for me I'm not even though lyrically it's touching .
My main issue on this is just like the other songs ARASHI released digitally , it's too Westernised and to me , you don't need to change your music direction completely in order to cater to a global audience especially since ARASHI has been doing things their way even before they release music digitally .
ARASHI's 17th album This is ARASHI will be released on 3rd Nov , on the same release as the release of their debut single A.RA.SHI .
For now , it's not known if Whenever You Call will be included in This is ARASHI .
