Studio We: Recording is the first demo album by the South Korean band Onewe. The album was released by RBW on October 15, 2020, and distributed by Kakao M.[2] It consists of nine tracks, including the pre-released single "Parting" and its instrumental, along with CD-only demo versions of "Parting" and other songs from the band's previous releases.

Background and release

On September 11, 2020, Onewe released a music video teaser for a new song "Parting". The song was then revealed for the first time through a live performance at the band's O! New E!volution concert on September 12.[3]

Written by member Kanghyun, "Parting" is inspired by a dream he often had as a child of an asteroid falling to Earth, and the lyrics convey the sincerity he could not convey to his loved ones on this last day before the asteroid hit.[4] "Parting" was introduced as Kanghyun's sequel to his lead single "Regulus" from the band's single album 2/4. These became known as Onewe's "planet series", with the Korean word for planet (행성) included within both the titles of "Regulus" (literally "nocturnal") and "Parting" (literally "asteroid").[5] The series was then developed further with the addition of later releases into what has now become known as Onewe's "space series".[6]

On September 21, it was confirmed that Onewe would officially release "Parting" on September 24. The song was released as a digital single along with its music video at 6pm KST.[7] On the same day, RBW revealed the album details for the band's first demo album Studio We : Recording.[8] "Parting" was included as the lead single for Studio We : Recoding which was released as a physical album on October 15, 2020.
