ONE&ONLY

ASTRO's 'ONE&ONLY' is a heartfelt ode to a love that transforms and uplifts. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has brought light and meaning to the singer's life. From the very beginning, the song emphasizes the disbelief and wonder at how their dreams have materialized, all thanks to the presence of their significant other. The repeated phrase '오직 너로 인해' (because of you) underscores the central theme that it is this person who has brought about such profound changes.

The song delves into the emotional journey of the relationship, highlighting moments of vulnerability and growth. The lines '수줍게 빛났던 시작이 / 서툴게 흘렸던 눈물이' (the shyly shining beginning / the clumsily shed tears) reflect the initial awkwardness and the emotional struggles that have been overcome. This journey has led to a 'new world' opening up, symbolizing the transformative power of love. The metaphor of light is prevalent throughout the song, with the partner's smile illuminating dark paths and their presence turning the singer's heart into a beacon of light.

'ONE&ONLY' also speaks to the mutual support and unwavering commitment in the relationship. The lyrics '힘들 때 날 안아주던 / 너에게 따뜻한 존재가 되어' (when you hugged me during tough times / I will become a warm presence for you) highlight the reciprocal nature of their bond. The imagery of mirrors, where each sees themselves in the other's eyes, reinforces the deep connection and understanding they share. The song culminates in a declaration of eternal support and love, promising to stand by each other no matter what challenges arise. This powerful message of enduring love and mutual upliftment is what makes 'ONE&ONLY' resonate deeply with listeners.
