This fine-tuned mix positions them as a group to watch, promising a fresh and exciting presence in the captivating world of K-Pop.
Central to their debut is the title track, "On And On," a vibrant anthem that not only defines their musical identity but also serves as the focal point of their introduction to the industry. Join me as I dive into the audio-visual spectacle that perfectly complements the lively and colorful nature of the song.
The music video for "On and On" is an enchanting visual journey that perfectly complements the song's upbeat, energetic, and colorful vibe. Serving as an uplifting anthem, it not only introduces the audience to the group's distinctive sound but also establishes a captivating tone for the entire album.
Designed with their Gen-Z audience in mind, the seamless blending of English and Korean lyrics caters to a global audience and enhances its universal charm.

The music video transports viewers to a high school setting reminiscent of early K-Pop, where school uniforms were a trending concept. The music video employs an ingenious use of scrapbooking elements, maintaining this trend to transition between scenes on various occasions throughout smoothly. This artful technique is introduced in the opening frames, skillfully presenting the members and elevating the overall viewing experience. Rather than allowing K-Pop fans to succumb to the mere curiosity of "just wanting to know their names," it extends a subtle invitation to delve into each member's personality and role within the group. Notably, time emerges as a central theme in the video, mirroring its significance amidst the stresses and pressures confronted by today's youth, who constantly find themselves needing to be somewhere at any given moment.
In terms of debut music videos, "On And On" masterfully captures the essence of the song. The video unfolds as a captivating fusion of infectious sounds and outstanding choreography, all set in a high school backdrop that deeply resonates with their intended audience. Maintaining their boy-next-door quality enhances the relatability factor of Kamden, Brian, Jiho, Siyun, Kyrell, Mackiah, and Seungmo, adding an extra layer to their already dynamic range. The dance sequences, perfectly synchronized to the lively beats, not only harmonize with the music but also position the numerous dance sequences as potential dance challenges for fans eager to immerse themselves in the vibrant world of AMPERS&ONE.
