"'One Touch'" is a song by English female pop duo Mini Viva, written and produced by Brian Higgins and his production team Xenomania. The song was released as Mini Viva's third and final single on 9 May 2010. Remixes from Wideboys, Christian TV and Tom Neville were also commissioned. The single failed to make the UK top 100.

Background



The duo premiered the song at the Jazz Caf in Camden Town on 9 February 2010, then known as "Do You Want a Candy?". They later changed the title to "One Touch" because rapper Aggro was releasing a song around the same time featuring Kimberly Wyatt entitled "Candy".

Popjustice gave a one-minute preview of the studio version of the song on 2 March 2010.

The song was originally to be released on CD but was later designated as download only, except for promotional CDs.

Critical reception



Digital Spy music reporter Robert Copsey gave "One Touch" five out of five stars, stating:



After a quivering, '80s-ish intro, Britt and Frankee get straight down to the dirty, teasing: "Do you want a candy? Hey baby! / With a different taste?" without so much as a flinch or giggle from either of them. Thankfully, the cheeky lyrics are backed by a typically infectious Xenomania production boasting struttable synths, loads of "whooosh!" effects and a chorus as moreish as a bag of Haribo Tangfastics. We may have waited five months for it, but the result is a fool-proof pop stomper that should return the pair to their rightful place at the top of the charts.


Fraser McAlpine of the BBC Chart Blog, while pointing out the risqu nature of the lyrics, wrote that the song is "stuffed full of chuntering synthy goodness, whooshy noises, the occasional robo-harmony (tastefully done, for a change), all the things we have come to recognise as key ingredients in a good pop song."

Music video



The music video was filmed 17 March 2010 and premiered on 30 March 2010. Some behind-the-scenes footage was uploaded onto the duo's official YouTube channel on 19 March 2010. The video consists of the girls in a room sitting down on a sofa as well as dancing, and the girls in another room with large candies and sweets.

Live performances



The duo performed "One Touch" at the Jazz Caf in Camden Town on 9 February 2010, where the song was premiered. They also performed the single on the Channel 4 music show 'Koko Pop' on 1 May 2010 and on the BBC television programme 'Blue Peter' on 4 May 2010.
