"'''Sanctuary'''" is the theme song of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', and is used as the ending theme in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. It is sung and written by {{w|Utada Hikaru}}. Its Japanese counterpart is called "'''{{w|Passion (Utada Hikaru song)|Passion}}'''", and it reached #2 in the Oricon Singles Chart in 2006.

Both versions of the song contain reversed lyrics, sung by Utada. The reversed lyrics are in English in both versions. They include; "My heart's a battleground" which is played in English even in the Japanese version of the song. The reversed portion of the songs are "I need more affection than you know"; in the "battleground" section, "So many ups and downs" and "I need true emotions" are the two other examples of the reversed lyrics.

"'''Passion'''" is the original, Japanese version of "Sanctuary"; it was originally released on Utada's ''{{w|Ultra Blue}}'' album. "Sanctuary (Opening)" was released on the album ''{{w|This Is the One}}'' as a bonus track.

At the end of ''Kingdom Hearts II'', ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', and ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', two different versions called "'''Sanctuary (Ending)'''" (English) and "'''Passion ~after the battle~'''" (Japanese), are used. These versions are much quieter for most of the song until the ending part of it, which use a faster instrumental than the rest of the song.

There is an instrumental version of the song that is used for the menu trailer of ''Kingdom Hearts II'' called "[[Passion -KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version-]]".
