On December 5, 2023, Twice posted a surprise teaser on their social media accounts, hinting at activities in Spring of 2024, featuring the texts "Our youth is here and now" and "ONCE MORE, Our splendid moments are about to unveil". [5] On December 14, they announced the pre-release single titled "I Got You", being their third original English-language single. [6] The following month, on January 3, 2024, a mood film was uploaded to Twice's YouTube account, revealing the EP's title and the release date for both the EP and the pre-release single. [7] Later in the month, they uploaded an opening trailer and then a music video teaser for "I Got You", both on YouTube, as well as concept photos. [8] The single was released on February 2, 2024.

Composition

I think this album is a collection of things that represent our youth, the friendship and special bond that glues together nine of us and that only TWICE can show

—  Chaeyoung, Reuters [12]

"I Got You" was written by Jonah Morais, Daniel Seavey (both members of the American boy band Why Don't We), David "Dwilly" Wilson, Jake Torrey and Lexxi Saal, with production handled by Dwilly. A synth-pop song, [10] it describes the friendship and love between the group's members, with the message of "even during difficult situations, I was always happy because of 'you' and we will overcome those hardships 'together' as always". [13] "One Spark", a drum and bass song, [14] was originally recorded for one of Twice's previous albums. When it was selected as the lead single of With You-th, the song was re-arranged and re-recorded. [15] [16] Chaeyoung was inspired by PinkPantheress while writing the lyrics for "Rush", a drum and bass song about "approaching something or someone". [17] [14] "Bloom" was written by Jeongyeon, and was originally considered for inclusion as a side track on Jihyo's solo album Zone (2023), but was ultimately passed over and later reworked as a song for the full group. [16] "You Get Me", a dance-pop song with lyrics written by Dahyun, has the meaning of "understanding one another without having to explicitly say something". [14] [16]

Promotion

To promote the EP, Twice performed "I Got You" and "One Spark" on the American morning television show Today , on February 23. [18] The following week, both songs were performed on the South Korean music programs M Countdown , Music Bank , Show! Music Core , and Inkigayo .
