One Touch is the debut studio album by British girl group Sugababes. It was released by London Records in the UK on 27 November 2000, and the following month in most other European territories. The trio worked with producer Cameron McVey on the majority of the album, which produced four singles; "Overload", "New Year", "Run for Cover", and "Soul Sound". Despite initially peaking at number 26 on the UK Albums Chart and being certified Gold by the BPI, and faring even better in German-speaking Europe, where it reached the top ten in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, the sales of One Touch did not meet the record company's expectations, and the group were eventually dropped in Autumn 2001, making it their only release with the label. In addition, it became the only album featuring the group's original line-up, until 2022. Siobhán Donaghy left the group in 2001.

Donaghy has also stated in a separate interview that the album had been "ahead of its time". In 2011, the original group members who released One Touch reformed under the new name "Mutya Keisha Siobhan", then resumed performing as the Sugababes after securing the legal rights to the name in 2019. On 11 May 2021, Sugababes announced that a 20th anniversary edition of One Touch (originally planned for 2020 but delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic) would be released later that year on 1 October. That same day, they released the MNEK remix of "Run for Cover". Following the album's reissue, it achieved a new peak of number 18 on the UK Albums Chart. Critical reception The album received rave reviews, with critics applauding the girls, who were all only 15/16 years old at the time, for writing and singing songs that were considered to be unusually mature for their age. The Guardian called One Touch a "fantastic album that encapsulates the sound of young America with enough style, attitude and originality to mesmerise". Tim Perry from The Independent wrote that "it's about time a half-decent pure-pop album got released, and over a dozen songs that jump playfully between
