contents Light scalars that couple to leptons are common figures in beyond the Standard Model endeavors. Considering a scalar that has universal and couplings to leptons only, we compute this leptophilic scalar contribution to the $e^{-}e^{+} \rightarrow τ^{+}τ^{-} S $ production cross section with $S \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}(μ^{+}μ^{-})$. We later compare the expected signal with recent data from the BELLE collaboration collected near the resonance $Υ(4S)$ with $\mathcal{L}=626 fb^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity to place limits on the couplings-mass plane for the $4$~MeV-$6.5$~GeV mass range. We then extended this analysis to a more general one $e^{-}e^{+} \rightarrow {\ell}^{+}{\ell}^{-} S$ production cross section where $\ell=e,μ,τ$ with $S \rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}(μ^{+}μ^{-})$, showing that BELLE constitutes an excellent laboratory for light scalars, where can be derived constraints stronger than those derived stemming from the g-2 of the electron or muon.
