Six of the tracks featured on Addicted were composed by Jade and Geo for Ayumi Hamasaki to release. While Ayumi Hamasaki re-wrote the lyrics (also writing them in Japanese), and re-arranged the songs with many vocal melodies original to her for her own renditions, the versions released on Addicted contain the original compositions, lyrics, and vocal melodies written by Jade and Geo. Hamasaki's versions appear on her album (Miss)understood.

Addicted sold 121,397 copies and became the 111th best-selling album of 2006.
