"Ai no Uta (Words of Love)" (Japanese: 愛の詩 (words of love), "Love Poem (words of love)") is a song recorded by Japanese recording artist Haruka Chisuga, taken from her debut studio album Try! (2016). It was released as the fifth single from the album by Victor Entertainment and their subsidiary label Flying Dog on April 27, 2016. The lyrics were written by Yamada Toshiaki and the music was composed and produced by Swedish electronic dance musician Rasmus Faber. Musically, "Ai no Uta (Words of Love)" is an electronic dance song with a four on the floor beat that features synthesizers and string arrangements in its instrumentation.
Upon its release, it received positive reviews from music critics. Some complimented the composition, noting a departure from her previous J-pop influenced music, and commended the songwriting. Commercially, the song fared better in Japan than her previous releases, peaking at number 47 on the Oricon Singles Chart. An accompanying music video was directed by Nozomi Tanaka, which featured Chisuga in a large aquarium surrounded by bright lights. To promote the single, Chisuga appeared on radio stations throughout Japan including Rajira Sunday and Hiroshi Kamiya's All Night, and was used as the closing theme song for the second season of Japanese anime television series, The Asterisk War.
