Overview
The title of the album Classy Crush originated from @onefive's group concept, "Japanese Classy Crush".{{Cite web |last=ポッター |first=平井 |date=2024-04-17 |title=【インタビュー】メジャー1stアルバムをリリース！今夏に初めての全国ツアーを控えた注目のガールズグループ、@onefive（ワンファイブ）のメンバーは「自転車に乗れない」、「プロの帰宅部」!? |url=https://entameclip.com/news/396435/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240416155736/https://entameclip.com/news/396435/ |archive-date=2024-04-16 |access-date=2024-04-16 |website=Entame Clip |language=ja}} "Classy" refers to old things, stereotypical images and ways of thinking, and conventional ways of doing things. "Crush" expresses @onefive's desire to destroy things of that nature, which hold them back, and to move forward in a new way instead. However, "Japanese" indicates that, while doing away with the negative parts, the group wishes to preserve and promote the parts of old, traditional Japan that are good and beautiful. This concept is encapsulated in the lead song on the album, "OZGi", pronounced ojigi, with its Japanese theme and bowing dance.{{Cite web |last=高崎 |first=計三 |date=2024-04-15 |title=【@ onefive】1st Album『Classy Crush』 今までのステレオタイプを壊していきたい |url=http://avexnet.jp/column/detail.php?id=1000733 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240415034657/https://avexnet.jp/column/detail.php?id=1000733 |archive-date=2024-04-15 |access-date=2024-04-15 |website=Avex Portal |language=ja}}{{Cite web |last=Lee |first=Hannah |date=2024-05-01 |title=Interview with @onefive |url=https://nantejapan.com/interview-with-onefive/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240501013433/https://nantejapan.com/interview-with-onefive/ |archive-date=2024-05-01 |access-date=2024-05-01 |website=Nante Japan |language=en-US}}
