K-pop sensations TWICE have once again set the music scene ablaze with the release of their highly anticipated 13th mini album, “With YOU-th”. accompanied by a visually stunning music video for the title track “ONE SPARK”. This acts as the follow-up to their previously released single “I GOT YOU” which also appears on this mini album.
The K-pop group, under the wings of JYP Entertainment, Imperial, and Republic Records, dropped the album on February 23, 2024, across all digital and streaming platforms. The title, “With YOU-th”, is a clever play on words, symbolising the eternal “youth” shared between the nine members and their connection to their devoted fanbase, affectionately known as ONCE, over the past nine years, hence the word, “you”.
The six-track album delves into the universal themes of love, friendship, and sisterhood, capturing the essence of youth. Showcasing their musical adaptability TWICE offers a lively and ethereal encounter with “ONE SPARK”, a genuine and understated allure in “RUSH”, lively electro-pop dance beats in “NEW NEW”, R&B undertones echoing through “BLOOM”, a mid-tempo pop expedition with “YOU GET ME”, and the previously unveiled single “I GOT YOU“.
The flawless music video for “ONE SPARK” that accompanies the release of this album just continues to showcase their incredible stage presence. Created by the production company Flipevil, we watch the nine-piece girl group bat out sublime choreography faultlessly while bringing a birthday scene by connecting the candles to the spark of the theme of the song and gorgeous background visuals that just heighten the conceptual visualisation. We especially loved the elevator transitions as well as the iconic bridge scene at the end.
TWICE’s influence continues to soar as they gear up for a one-night-only encore performance of their 5th World Tour “READY TO BE” in the United States, titled “READY TO BE ONCE MORE”, scheduled for March 16, 2024, at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. Tickets for the event are currently on sale and can be purchased by clicking here.
The group’s monumental success extends beyond this latest release. In 2023, TWICE—consisting of NAYEON, JEONGYEON, MOMO, SANA, JIHYO, MINA, DAHYUN, CHAEYOUNG, and TZUYU—received the Breakthrough Award at the Billboard Women in Music Awards, coinciding with the release of their 12th mini album, “READY TO BE”. The album secured the Number 2 spot on the Billboard 200 chart and marked TWICE’s record for the most top 10 debuts on the Billboard 200 chart among all K-pop female acts, which is currently at four, could their 13th mini-album take them to five? Additionally, “READY TO BE” holds the record for the biggest pure sales week for an album by a female K-pop act in the US.
Formed under K-pop powerhouse JYP Entertainment in 2015, TWICE has become an award-winning, record-breaking female K-pop group, achieving unprecedented success in the industry. Currently TWICE find themselves immersed in their 5th World Tour, “READY TO BE”. a journey that has led the group to stadiums and arenas spanning Asia, Europe, Oceania, and South America, marking TWICE as the only K-pop girl group to achieve a sold-out stadium in São Paolo, Brazil. They have continued to make history with sold-out shows at iconic venues and numerous chart-hitting releases, solidifying their status as one of the best-selling K-pop recording artists of all time.
“With YOU-th”, by TWICE, is available to download and stream, right now, across all platforms, via JYP Entertainment, Imperial, and Republic Records.
