"Touch" is a song recorded by the South Korean, Seoul-based unit NCT 127 for their parental unlimited boy band NCT's first studio album NCT 2018 Empathy (2018). Co-produced by production team LDN Noise, Deez and Adrian McKinnon with lyrics from Jo Yoon-kyung, Kim Min-ji and Shin Jin-hye, the '90s-imbued tropical house track was released digitally on March 14, 2018, as the fourth single from Empathy by SM Entertainment with iRIVER Inc as the distributor. An accompanying music video was premiered a day prior to both the single and the album's scheduled digital release. The song was later re-recorded and released as the first single from the unit's first Japanese studio album Awaken (2019) on September 16, 2018 by Avex Trax.

Following its initial release, "Touch" received positive reviews from music critics for its "bright, poppy" nature that does not usually present through the unit's choreography. The song also attained moderate commercial success, becoming the second highest entry from Empathy on the Billboard K-Pop Hot 100, while being the unit's first single to narrowly miss the top ten on Billboard's World Digital Song chart, peaking at number eleven only.
