One Up did a LIVE performance of "SMILE" and honestly speaking, I laud them for singing the song LIVE. The song is really good, perfect lyrics and beat, dance-able and has an LSS lyrics as well, it has that beat that everyone can enjoy. I also love the combination of their voices, it actually feels like I'm listening to a foreign boy band. According to them, this will eventually turn into an album, so let's cross our fingers and wait for the turn of it.
