"Reincarnation" is a song recorded by Japanese recording artist Ami Suzuki for her second greatest hits album, Ami Selection (2011). It was written by Emi Hinouchi and production was handled by Taku Takahashi. The track is Suzuki's first collaboration with both Hinouchi and Takahashi. "Reincarnation" premiered on February 25, 2009 as the lead single from the album. The CD and digital cover sleeve has a close-up of Suzuki hovering a GCI bubble. The DVD cover sleeve features a slightly altered version of the former.

Musically, the track was described as a dance and club song, with numerous musical elements including electropop. The lyrics to "Reincarnation" describes Suzuki's celebration of her career and music; it also emphasizes slight themes of "day-to-day" life style. Upon its release, "Reincarnation" garnered positive reviews from music critics and was praised for its composition and emotional lyrical delivery. Suzuki's vocals were also commended. It also achieved lukewarm success in her native Japan, peaking at number 42 on the Japanese Oricon Singles Chart. The song has sold over four thousand units in Japan alone; this is one of Suzuki's lowest selling singles to date.

The accompanying music video for "Reincarnation" was shot in Japan; it features Suzuki inside her home, and walking the streets; several shots feature Suzuki floating in water. For additional promotion, the song was included on the track list on one of Suzuki's concert tours; this being her 29th Anniversary tour at the Liquidroom event.

"Reincarnation" was written by Emi Hinouchi, and production, composing, and arrangement was handled by Japanese musician Taku Takahashi. It is Suzuki's first single to be handled by Takahashi, and her first song written by Hinouchi. However, "Reincarnation" is the only new track from Ami Selection that wasn't written by her; the following single "Kiss Kiss Kiss" was fully written by Suzuki. It was selected as the lead single from Ami Selection, and was released on February 25, 2009 by Avex Trax.
