XLOV who debuted in January of this year is back with their 2nd single album [I ONE] on June 13.
XLOV successfully debuted with the delicate charm of each member expressing the origin of 'unfinished love, the various painful loves they experienced', and they are continuing the powerful ambition of the beginning to solidify their position as artists with an even hotter and more provocative appearance with this album.
You can find hidden messages everywhere in the second single [I ONE]. Along with the main message, 'I am the only one in this world', ONE can be converted into the homonym "Want" to express the album as 'I want', and I.O.N.E can also be written as l.O.V.E to add the meaning of 'love', trying to add the fun of elements like "wordplay".
“I ONE” includes a total of 6 songs, including 3 new songs '1&Only,' '1 of LOV,' and 'BIZNESS,' as well as each (inst) track of the new songs.
The title song “1&Only” is an Afro beat/Afro pop song with rich pad synths, soft bass, and rhythmic vocals. The lyrics boldly convey XLOV’s warm yet confident messages to fans and listeners, such as “let’s move with our instincts,” “don’t suppress our burning desires, let’s burn them even more,” and “I am unique to you and you are unique to me, don’t hide it and show me everything you feel.”

Another track, “1 of LOV,” is an emotional song that combines elements of afrobeat, R&B, ambient synth, and powerful log drums. It includes lyrics such as “I want to be a helping hand to those who are lost and wandering, and we can move forward together toward our destination,” “With XLOV, the secrets that you and I have kept from each other will start to stir and will no longer be hidden from the moment we meet,” and “No matter what happens in the future, I will not let go of your tightly held hands,” which further maximizes the rich emotion of the song.
Lastly, the third track, “BIZNESS,” is a hip-hop song with minimal and powerful elements that combines the strong elements of 808 bass and kitschy and energetic chant-style vocals. The lyrics contain XLOV’s charming and confident message to those who hate others: “Get the hell away,” “I’ll gladly give you a seat to hold that skirt we want to wear,” and “Your wish list is just a tedious business to me.”
