VCHA Releases Second Digital Single Album Only One
Less than two months after debut, VCHA has already followed up with their next digital single album. The sextet of Lexi, Camila, Kendall, Savanna, KG, and Kaylee are back with Only One. The single album dropped on streaming platforms on March 15. It contains the title track “Only One” and the B-side “Favorite Girl.” This release dropped one day before VCHA finished opening for TWICE’s READY TO BE world tour, which ended in Las Vegas on March 16.
“Only One” is feel-good pop. It carries on the sound of their previous releases, something very youthful for the teen market. Written and composed by Nathan Cunningham, Marc Sibley, Stalking Gia (Tiffany Gia), and Jonathan Hall, the song describes when two people share a synced connection with each other. This bond makes the speaker feel like the “only one” who gets to understand their crush on this deep level. Cunningham, Sibley, and Gia all previously worked with VCHA: Cunningham and Sibley contributed lyrics to the A2K song “Go Getter,” and Gia co-wrote and co-composed “XO Call Me” from Girls of the Year.
“Only One” Performance Video
Despite the instrumental’s string-filled backing, which usually gives a dainty feeling, the pop overlay in “Only One” shows both qualities of grace and strength. The “Only One” performance video helps illustrate the consistent fast pace of the song’s chorus and post-chorus. The steps are bouncy, yet powerful. These moves especially pay off in the brief dance break, highlighted with the video’s glimmery lights.
Stylistically, the prominent pink theme of the performance video comes off like Barbie in aesthetic. The open set showing a home interior also may remind viewers of that environment. Though it’s only a performance video, it still throws in some nice visual nods to the song. A background film set lights up when Lexi sings, “when I’m walking through that door, I make a scene.”
“Favorite Girl”
VCHA sings about self-love in “Favorite Girl.” Written and composed by Nathan Cunningham, Marc Sibley, Hadar Adora, and Deza, “Favorite Girl” boosts girls’ confidence with its lyrics and accompanying instrumental. It contains relaxing trap beats and soft collective chanting.
This short track, with a 2:15 runtime, encourages girls to think the best about themselves. It gives the message that girls can ignore insecurities directed at them from others by being their own “favorite girl.” By prioritizing their own idea of worth, only their own feelings and actions matter.
