During the North American leg of their Easy Crazy Hot Tour in September 2025,Le Sserafim revealed that they would be releasing new music in October.[2] The group teased the release by updating their album covers on streaming platforms with tomato sauce splatters,and posting a video to their YouTube channel titled "It's a Tomato Incident",featuring the members holding plates of spaghetti.[3][4] On September 29,Source Music announced that Le Sserafim would release their first single album Spaghetti on October 24.[5] Pre-orders for the single album began the following day.[6][7]

The track samplers for the title track and B-side were released on October 17.[13] On October 20,a teaser video titled "The Kick" was released,confirming that BTS member J-Hope would be featured on the title track.[14] The video features J-Hope in a "Matrix-like outfit" walking under strobe lights,and ends with all of them singing "Eat it up".[15] The highlight medley and track listing were released on October 21,[16] and the music video teaser for the title track was released on October 22.[17] The single album was released on October 24 alongside the music video for the title track.[18]
Composition and lyrics
"Spaghetti" was written and produced by 13 (Score and Megatone),"Hitman" Bang,Federico Vindver,Gian Stone and Tobias Wincorn,with J-Hope,Anika Bennett,Elle Campbell,JBach,Huh Yunjin,Phil Leigh,Alex Jonathan Crofton Ball,Matt Holmes,Sakura and Park Woo-hyun participating in the writing.[19] It is described as an alternative and funk pop song with a "sophisticated and addictive beat".[20] In the song,Le Sserafim compare themselves to spaghetti stuck in between one's teeth,with lyrics such as "Do you want to take it out,bon appétit" and "Sserafim stuck in your head."[21] In a Q&A about the release,Huh Yunjin said that her work on the song came after their first music show win for "Hot" and thinking:"Like food stuck between our teeth,maybe we've gotten into the public's heads."[22] "Spaghetti" was composed in the key of B major,and has a tempo of 112 beats per minute.[23]
The B-side track,"Pearlies (My Oyster Is the World)",is a rhythmic disco pop song[24] where Le Sserafim expresses gratitude for their fans who have stayed by their side.[25] Huh Yunjin,who co-wrote the song,explained during the Incheon show of their Easy Crazy Hot tour:"Just like the process of a pearl being born,I too will create my own pearl" and that she will "protect the fans who are with [her] through that process."[26] She also said that they flip the meaning of "The World is My Oyster",a song from their first EP Fearless (2022),from taking ownership of something with a fearless energy,to realizing "within the small oyster I already have,there's everything I need," and that their fans are their oyster.[27]
Music video
The music video for "Spaghetti",directed by Wontae Ko,shows Le Sserafim preparing spaghetti for an eager crowd,representing how they entertain people through their music,and J-Hope delivers his "relaxed rapping" under flashing lights.[28] They perform choreography "wagging their fingers and bouncing their shoulders," dancing on a dinner plate,with moves that visualize the lyric "Spaghetti stuck in your teeth".[29][30] In an interview with Teen Vogue,Hong Eunchae said that they tried to give the outfits the same feeling through "added elements and textures."[31] The video also features the South Korean drag performers Nana Youngrong Kim,Kyam,and RingRing.[32]
