"Depend on You" is the fifth single released by Ayumi Hamasaki on December 9, 1998. The single reached number nine on the weekly Oricon chart, becoming her third consecutive top-ten single in Japan. 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was re-released for the fact that it was initially released in 1998 only in the 3" CD format, which by this time had been replaced by the new standard "maxi" CD format. In this case, the single was re-released in 2001 for a 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.
