Background and release

On December 14, 2023, Twice announced they would release a single titled "I Got You". [2] On January 3, 2024, it was revealed that "I Got You" would serve as a pre-release single for the group's thirteenth EP, With You-th. [3] The single and its accompanying music video were released on February 2, 2024. [4] [5] [6] Twice unveiled two music video teasers for "One Spark", which they announced as the lead single for the EP, on February 21, 2024. The single and music video were released simultaneously with the EP on February 23, 2024. [7]

Composition

"One Spark" is a drum and bass track [8] that draws inspiration from the bubblegum pop style of the group's earlier tracks such as "Cheer Up" and "TT." [9] The single combines modern breakbeats and dance-inspiring rhythms, while its lyrics focus on "embracing the burning heart of youth". [9] It was originally recorded for one of Twice's previous albums, but did not make the cut. When it was selected as the lead single of With You-th, the song was re-arranged and re-recorded. [10] [11]

The music video primarily highlights the group's choreography, showcasing their performance on multiple sets ranging from a "luxurious" dining hall to a minimalist white soundstage. An elevator with floor numbers representing time passing between their debut date as a group and the release date for their song "One Spark" is intermittently featured throughout the video. In one set, group member Dahyun is also seen crying in a dance studio and being comforted by other members, which depicts the hardships the group went through during their past as Korean idol trainees. The video concludes with the K-pop act dancing on Chuncheon Bridge, which was closed to traffic for filming, as fireworks illuminate the scene. [1] [9] [12]
