"Tonight" on YouTube |
"Tonight" is the third digital single released by South Korean pop band Spica. It was released on August 28, 2013 under B2M Entertainment with distribution through CJ E&M Music and Live.
The preparation and creation of the song was the main subject of the reality television show " Lee Hyori X Unnie" on OnStyle Entertainment Channel. [1] In the show, Lee Hyori, a long-established pop star and company colleague, provides counsel to the group, which had struggled to establish success as a group, on making decisions on every detail of a music single promotion, including song-writing, media relations, and styling. [2] Lee Sang Soon, Lee Hyori's partner, was heavily featured on the show and lent his background vocals in the recording. [3]
The song's lyrics were co-written with Lee Hyori and member, Kim Boa, [2] with the original composition being completed by member and associates of Dsign Music.
On August 22, 2014, the teaser for the single and music video were released. [4] The group members appeared in 1st Look Magazine with Lee Hyori to promote the release. [5]
On August 28, 2014 (KST), the digital single, physical single and music video were made available to the public. The video was directed by Lumpens [6]
In its first week of release, the song peaked at #10 on Gaon Music Chart, which tracks the success of South Korean music, and was eight on the weekly online download rankings with 102,297 paid downloads from August 28–31 [7] It would fail to make the top 100 digital singles of 2013. [8]
SPICA would perform on "comeback stages", which moved Lee Hyori to tears, [9] but didn’t win on KBS Music Bank, [9] MBC Music Core, [10] SBS Inkigayo, [11] and Mnet M! Countdown. [12]
The single continued a streak of limited success but did result in a top 10 single for the group. Both the song and music video did receive positive critical press, with a particular emphasis on the vocal quality of the recording and the colorful imagery of the video. [13] [14] One writer remarked on the competing themes: "Even though Spica's intent was probably to be liberating, it was still problematic because it detracted from the theme of innocent fun and instead felt dangerously close to voyeurism." [15]
