Grow into One (stylized as grow into one) is the second studio album released by Japanese R&B-turned-pop singer Koda Kumi, released on March 19, 2003. It barely peaked in the Top 10 on Oricon, coming it at #8, and charted for forty-three weeks. The album also contained, at the time, one of her best-selling singles, real Emotion/1000 no Kotoba." Combined with the singles, the album has sold over half a million copies in Japan.

The album featured rapping-duo Clench & Blistah (known as CLENCH&BLISTAH in Japan) and Urban contemporary singer and producer LISA. LISA had been featured on Kumi's single m•a•z•e on the b-side, after having just split from her founded hip-hop group m-flo.

grow into one is singer-songwriter Kumi Koda's second studio album and was released one year after her first album, affection. It was her first album to chart in the top ten on Oricon, coming in at #8. The album was predominately R&B with the only pop songs being those she performed for Final Fantasy X-2, which was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2003. Those songs were real Emotion and 1000 no Kotoba. The only other pop song was To be one, which was used in some of the online advertising for Final Fantasy X-2.
