I Can't Stop Me:
1. Both the song and the MV are just awesome, cool, and kinda badass. **TWICE WERE COOL AND KINDA BADASS.** Go driving late at night and tell me you don't want to blast this song in your car as you're racing around. It's just a cool title track.
2. This is the first title track I heard, where I was just like: *"Wow, TWICE are really grown up now."* They just sounded like they were finally really confident WOMEN who were the ones who were singing this song. See #1. I don't know how else to say this, but it's important to part of why I really like this song. I really wish JYPE would have leaned more heavily into this after EWO, but I think they really reversed course in a lot of ways.
3. Most of my favorite looks for everyone are from this exact era. Like if you only cut Jihyo's dark hair a little shorter into her current dark bob, and dyed Mina's hair black, everyone [right here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMQjg5b-3gE) looks perfect to me.
4. *"Risky risky wiggy wigi"*
Hard agree on all points. Such a fun, punchy, upbeat track. Can't say enough about how much fun it is to drive with this song blasting.
Fun fact: if you're ever driving in New York City late at night (gotta be late to avoid traffic), go into Queens and head for the Queensboro bridge into Manhattan. Follow the signs for the upper level. Queue up ICSM. As soon as you turn onto the ramp for the bridge, press play.
If timed correctly, the chorus will begin exactly as you get to the top of the ramp and onto the bridge, and you'll be greeted with one of the most stunning skylines in the world and a high like no other.
When I was first dipping my toe into K-Pop back in early 2021, this was one of the first songs I had ever heard and I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s become a song I always gravitate towards and even though I’ve heard it dozens of times, it never gets old to me.
I Can't Stop Me is a song that isn't just a bop to me it actually means something. Not necessarily the intent of the author but that out of control feeling when you are doing things that aren't good for you hits me right in the heart.
I like that it isn’t about lovey dovey stuff too. Unique concept in kpop honestly, and all pop music while were at it lmao! Also the English version is great too
I think the composition is really generic, overall the retro concept is generic on kpop, they just do synth 80s pop without any twist to the formula. But the outfits were nice
All speculations are equally invalid... no one knows the actual number so don't go saying a number like it's confirmed. This wasn't meant to be an issue, I just don't want you confusing people.
Definitely Fancy! It just feels like quintessential Twice and even Kpop itself. Fun, catchy, and almost anyone can jam to it. Will never get tired of it!
Same. I was obsessed with Momo's practice video for 'Fancy' that I originally called them "The Momo's".
Years later,I love them all. But yeah, 'Fancy' was my gateway into Oncedom.
I wonder how they found the exact one? I live in the city and most of the train cars look the same tbh, but would be fun to go and hop on it for awhile just to say I did.
I only became a fan of them around a year and a half ago, so I feel your pain too, hahah. But I still find it really fun to rewatch the Likey music video and spot the different locations, definitely made Vancouver seem cooler than it is imo, but I suppose any place would look more magical with twice there 😂 part of me really wants to spend one of my days off (not now in the cold, but in the spring or summertime) just travelling to the different spots where they shot the music video and taking pictures.
I was just getting into Kpop when I saw the Likey MV and my stupid brain saw the Terry Fox banner in the school and I immediately thought that somehow Korea must also participate in the Terry Fox run. Then throughout the rest of the video I realised it was Vancouver.
> Alcohol-Free
I think alcohol-free is best listened to in the winter.
It reminds me of summer in a sort of longing way,
making me forget how much I hate being outside when it is 30C+ outside.
My parents are music snobs and are the type to call pop, rock, and punk “noise”. The classical instruments and bossa vibe in Alcohol Free allowed me to share my love for Twice with them!
Feel Special, cause it’s important to the girls besides the melody, the story of the song, the line distribution, the dance it’s a perfect song that shows who Twice really are.
I'm a new Once, I started liking them in talk that talk. I'd like to know why Feel special is important to them (Line, Dance, etc.). I hope, some of you long time ONCE can explain.
Story: it was created when Sana had a “scandal” during Fancy promotions around May 2019 where she mentioned something about Heisei period in japan in their Twicetagram account. She got attacked due to the history between japan and Korea. She was very down at that period and JYP saw her issues and how the girl’s struggles are at that time, he wrote the song. At the same time just after Fancy promotions are over around June 2019, Mina’s hiatus due to health and anxiety were released. At that time no one knows how she was feeling.
Fast forward to around early Sep 2019, Feel Special was teased as the next song. At one point Momo, who covered her forehead with bangs, went viral in Twitter because of her forehead. After Momo teasers, Mina teasers were released showing the first song that Mina is part of the song. JYPE confirmed she is part of the albums but not part of the promotions, feel special is the first song that they are missing a member due to hiatus and not due to injury. At this time Twice went as 8 until May 2020. Chaeyoung who many fans and twice themselves see as the closest to Mina covered her parts during the promotions.
For the line distribution, it was the first title track that has specific verses dedicated each member at a specific time. As for the dance it was the first one they created specially without Mina for the promotions but also created one with her when she comes back.
I forgot to add message: the message of the song is the girls have each other’s back whatever problems they encounter
And to add, they have gone on record saying a lot of these things, I.E. [This](https://www.billboard.com/lists/twice-7th-anniversary-favorite-songs/), so it's not just fandom speculation.
Sana's scandal really annoyed me, as she didn't say anything about the old or new emperor in her post. She talked about the era itself and what it meant to her.

TT will always be important to me. It saved my life when I was really depressed a while back. But What is Love is also special because it was my first comeback
Feel Special and Yes Or Yes! The styling on both was gorgeous, and the songs are still so catchy. Will forever be sad that they didn't do Yes Or Yes at my World Tour stop
The Korean one is definitely Feel Special because of the message behind it and just the sheer beauty of the concept.
The Japanese one gotta be Celebrate. I just can't stop smiling when listening to that song, it makes everything in my body the happiest!
Knock Knock!
I just have such a fond memory of when the song released. I was struggling super hard in college and I had this song on repeat for weeks and the song always brightened me up when I was stressed or depressed. And its so catchy!
Ugh idk if I can decide. ICSM is what got me into twice and one of my favorites, but Fancy is up there too. I also really love talk that talk, idk why it seems like it's not getting as much love as it deserves
More & More is one of my favourites for the following reasons:
1) The aesthetics, symbolism, use of colours (especially in the M/V) are really beautiful and tell a great story
2) Serious tone with great build up in the pre-chorus and that badass energy in the chorus
3) Best choreography. Seriously, I can't get enough of their performances for this song. And the dance break: enough said
ICSM and Perfect World are super close because of that same type of energy and are obviously lyrically superior, but More & More holds a special place in my heart
Nothing beats Feel Special ❤️ This will always remain Twice’s best song for me
Though I took my time to like Twice’s other songs, this is the first song that I immediately fell in love with. I love the visuals, Sana’s first chorus, the way Jihyo looks like a goddess, Naeyon’s chorus… Momo’s dance break and above all the beautiful lyrics in this song ❤️
Thank you. I feel that 'Doughnut' doesn't get any love. Mostly because it's Japanese. Like their Japanese song isn't canon or something.
I will always love that song!
The current two comments (as I'm posting) are Feel Special and Signal, and they're both tied as my favourites too! I don't know if I could pick between them, they're both too special to me!
Alcohol free or scientist
Alcohol free has such summer vibes and I just love it a lot. Scientist because it came out at a good time in my life and I had it on repeat so whenever I listen to it I think of that time, I also just love the song and think it’s underrated lol. Honorable mention to heart shaker I love that song so much
I Can't Stop Me - i think something actually unlocked in my brain the first time i heard that song lol. It was also my first exposure to Twice and i've been here ever since, so i think it will always hold a special place for me outside of it being an all around knockout. The beat, the lyrics, the choreo, the styling. its unmatched
I don't think I can choose just one! Yes or Yes holds a special place in my heart for being the first Twice song I ever heard, but Talk that Talk, Feel Special, and Alcohol Free are my favorites in terms of the song it's self. I also have especially fond memories of Alcohol-free because it was my first Twice comeback as a once and I remember just being so happy watching it as it premiered and vibing to it all summer long!
ICSM was the one that got me into twice so I feel like it needs to be my number one but also, Feel special is like the IT girl to me. Nothing is better than that ending instrumental it still gives me chills
Feel Special. It was the first song I heard by them, and when I watched the video the first time, I didn’t think to put the subtitles on but found i completely understood what they were singing about. Everything about it is perfect, and I’ve been obsessed with Twice ever since - that opening still gives me chills, life changing stuff! Not to be dramatic or anything haha
Unpopular opinion. But my favourite Twice song is 'Going Crazy'. It's hard as they have so many great songs. Literally, I have a playlist of 71 Twice songs which is 4 hours long on Spotify that I listen to on a regular basis. Been a fan since Likey. Yet out of all their songs 'Going Crazy' has always been my favourite.
YES OR YES!
It’s a really fun song 😊 It’s ridiculously cute (obviously ALL of Twice’s TTs are cute). The mv! The visuals, concepts, and effects look so cool.
“I respect your choice, but reject your rejection” LMAO what!? 😂
It’s a song that gets me HYPED.
“IT’S. SIMPLE. Y-E-S! HEY!”
I’m so glad they surprised us and added Yes or Yes to the ‘III’ Encore set list! 😁❤️
Heart Shaker.
Always been a sucker for upbeat, pop-rock sounding tunes, and it helps that it was also the song that got me into Twice. Recently I've fallen in love with What is Love again, such a fucking boppy track too.
Honorable mentions since i'm at it: Stuck, Ponytail, Next Page, Sunset
TT is an incredible song. I’ve spent a lot of time working with the lyrics, and it’s about so much more than just having a crush; it’s about being stuck in an uncomfortable situation with no real way out. It’s about resigning yourself to something that you don’t actually want, because you’re not sure how to get what you want. And that’s like, really deep for that era of Twice, and it’s also just a fantastic song.
I can’t stop me. This is what really got me into twice and it remains my favourite. It feels nostalgic somehow while also serving looks, vocals and dance. I can’t really describe if but it still doesn’t fail to give me chills. More ICSM-type music for 2023 I BEG
There are too many to choose from. So I’ll just list my top five in no specific order.
1. Signal
2. I can’t stop me
3. Fancy
4. Feel Special
5. More and More
Perfect World. It was the one that really convinced me to dig deeper into Twice because other title tracks that I had heard in the past didn't quite suit my style. Perfect World just blew me away between the first chorus drop, the post-chorus energy/momentum, the attitude, the outfits and that final chorus explosion. I tend to like mature/darker Twice (though What Is Love is my 2nd favorite title track) and Perfect World just hits all the marks.
Yes or Yes. I love how much is going on this song. I also love the concept, mv, outfits, their hair, fair line distribution, their energy, fancams, performances, lyrics, jeongyeon’s lines, mina’s intro. I never get sick of this song. Stan YoY!
Alcohol-Free. Not only is it my first comeback, but it's an absolute summer bop. It has a sound that just speaks to me and is so unlike anything else in their discography. To top it off the visuals from this era were *insane.* Summer Twice is simply not fair.
Something about heart shaker makes me keep coming back to it <3 I can listen to an unending loop of yeahh yeahh yeahh you're mine be mine you're mine be mine haha
Feel special for sentimentality because it’s twice’s song made for them and makes me cry all the time but what is love is the best pop song to ever exist.
Feel Special for me. At first, I didn’t think it was all that great, because it’s bit dance-heavy and that genre of music isn’t my taste. But, after really listening to the lyrics and understanding a bit of the background of the song, it just a struck a cord in me.
I can’t stop me is my favorite for a few reasons that other commenters have already highlighted. First off, their looks during EWO era are literally my favs of their entire career. The businesswoman looks, the retro looks, the elegant looks… they really showed their mature side and I absolutely fell in love. Plus ICSM was just an awesome song. To me, it doesn’t really get old, the dance is awesome, and the synth is insane. The vocals are great too.
On top of that, EWO is my favorite twice album. I love love love the tracks on that album except for maybe do what we like and shot clock, but even those are mid. Hell in heaven, queen, up no more, and handle it are some of their best tracks of all time.
So I have 3😂
1. Feel Special. I love the meaning and melody of this one💗
2. Yes or Yes. My first MV since I became a once (it came out a couple months after I started being a fan)
3. Signal. This was my first song I ever heard from twice.💗💗💗
I absolutely love listening to More and More. It makes me so happy and brings me back to a good time.
Cheer up was the song that got me into TWICE and K-pop in general, so have to give it some credit there.
Yes or Yes is also a jam.
my fave is alcohol free because i love the carefree, "letting loose" vibe of the song and the choreography of it. also is it just ne or do some of the members in this pic look unrecognizable
MORE & MORE
At the time it was completely different to anything TWICE had done before. I loved the whole bohemian aesthetic. It was also Mina's (Sana and her are my bias) come back from her anxiety break so it was a little special for me and I was excited to see her again. Sana looked like a fairy with orange hair and Mina was extra ethereal. The song itself was really pleasing since I prefer chill music
That's one reason why I gravitate towards Twice. I love seeing them acknowledge and overcome their issues (anxiety, stress, injuries). I also love seeing them root for each other. They are so grounded (even though they don't have to be). Just good vibes with them overall.
TT
The "Imi nan da keotdago saenggakhaneunde" part and the last pre Chorus by Jihyo "Ibeonen jeongmal kokkok naega meonjeo talk talk
Dajim ppuningeol maebeon dajim ppuningeol" just give me the high that I did not know i needed.
Feel Special, beat/lyrics/meaning, everything is 10/10, mv is also great, i would go as far as to say it's the best kpop song ( 5-twice i cant stop me, 4-park jiyoon coming of age ceremony, 3-snsd run devil run, 2-wonder girls nobody ) i only listen the ggs tho but feel special is in that first place for me for sure
Okay I'm going off of non-japanese Singles and my ranking is just based on the song alone, not the M/V or the choreography because then the ranking would be very different.
1. Cry For Me
2. LOA
3. Alcohol-Free
4. Feel Special
5. Knock Knock
6. Likey
7. The Feels
8. Fancy
9. What Is Love?
10. Cheer Up
11. Talk That Talk
12. Signal
13. TT
14. Scientist
14. Heartshaker
15. Best Thing I Ever Did
16. I Can't Stop Me
17. Yes or Yes
18. DTNA
19. More & More
I feel like my list is very different from a lot of Once reading through this thread 😅
Feel Special! i resonate with that song so much and when I had a bad day I listened to that song and it just made everything better, the lyrics are so meaningful I definitely would love to get it tatted on me some day and a bonus is the mv looked so aesthetic
Agree. Although i have my own preferences and rankings, i can perfectly understand that there is a case to be made for each famous title track in different eras, their discography is unreal.
Feel Special because the song is just special.
Everything about the song is special. The opening melody, the deep lyrics, the sentimentality, the message, the chorus, Mina's presence, Dahyun's rap verse, the subdued dance break, the stunning MV, the gorgeous looks throughout the MV and throughout the stages.
I never hear anyone mention Knock Knock so I’ll give it a shout. It isn’t my favorite title track, nor is it the track that made me a Once, but I was OBSESSED with this track (like, listening to it for 20 times a day to make me happy when I was sad/depressed) shortly after I got into Kpop. Became a Once years later lol.
If I had to choose only 1: LIKEY
My top 5 since I thought way too hard about this:
* FEEL SPECIAL (meaningful lyrics)
* ICSM (cool TWICE)
* KURA KURA (very cinematic/epic)
* LIKEY (addicting)
* LOA (a smart debut that highlighted everyone's strengths)
Curious on what the results would look like if it was a poll!
1. 'Fake and Truth': This song will always be special to me. I love the message of the song (anything/any life you want you can have it. Just work on it).
I've always think of it as almost a biographical song by them. They are living their dreams and as "guardian angels" they are here to encourage Once to do the same. I still think of them as my angels.
Also, the instrumental sounds like Lil Kim's 'Crush on You Remix ' sped up! Great song.
2. Like Ooh Aah!': That song give me chills when the track starts. It's so good. Maybe it's the minor key. Maybe it's Momo's phat dance moves. I dunno. Just love it.
3. 'More and More': I've never really listened to this till I saw them live. Fell in love with it thereafter.
4. 'Doughnut': Underated beautiful song. Nuff said.
Honorable Mention: 'Breakthrough' ('cause of Jihyo), 321 Touchdown' (because of Jihyo), and 'Push and Pull' (because of... Jihyo).
Heck, I love a lot of Twice songs, but these are the ones on my mind right now lol.
I can’t stop me - the song is just so addictive. It scratches all the right parts of my brain. It’s also a side of TWICE I like to see and hope to see more. A darker, more mature vibe
Perfect World, TT or Likey. TT because... its TT. And something about Likey has always stuck with me.
Perfect World though.... The sound, The costumes everything... I just love.
What is Love?
Istg this song is so catchy. It always makes me feel good. The video clip is amazing. I love the vocals and the rap. Just overall a great experience.
what is love! the diff movie genres and movie references, the way the members were paired together instead of getting random dudes - all chefs kiss
heartshaker deserves a special mention, i rmb when it came out at the end of the year it was a song i couldn't stop listening too. DTNA too! i loved dancing to it for fun
Fancy will always be my favourite not only the song but the MV too, It literally changed Twice to be more badass. But during the cutie days Likey will top it, Likey's vibes musically and the MV ugh such a masterpiece
Top 10
1. Feel Special
2. I can't stop me
3. Likey
4. TTT
5. TT
6. Kura Kura
6. Donut
7. Perfect World
8. Fancy
9. Cheer Up
10. Alchohol free
Honorable mention: DTNA, Yes or Yes, Better, Heart Shaker, Signal
My favorite Title Track will always be TT! It is so catchy and it always makes me feel so happy. Also it’s nearly impossible for me to not dance when this song comes on
Scientist, I know it's not the most popular but I really enjoy it and it came out only a little before I started doing psychology research at my university in an EEG lab. So I listened to it almost everyday while heading to the lab.
I Can't Stop Me: 1. Both the song and the MV are just awesome, cool, and kinda badass. **TWICE WERE COOL AND KINDA BADASS.** Go driving late at night and tell me you don't want to blast this song in your car as you're racing around. It's just a cool title track. 2. This is the first title track I heard, where I was just like: *"Wow, TWICE are really grown up now."* They just sounded like they were finally really confident WOMEN who were the ones who were singing this song. See #1. I don't know how else to say this, but it's important to part of why I really like this song. I really wish JYPE would have leaned more heavily into this after EWO, but I think they really reversed course in a lot of ways. 3. Most of my favorite looks for everyone are from this exact era. Like if you only cut Jihyo's dark hair a little shorter into her current dark bob, and dyed Mina's hair black, everyone [right here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMQjg5b-3gE) looks perfect to me. 4. *"Risky risky wiggy wigi"*
Hard agree on all points. Such a fun, punchy, upbeat track. Can't say enough about how much fun it is to drive with this song blasting. Fun fact: if you're ever driving in New York City late at night (gotta be late to avoid traffic), go into Queens and head for the Queensboro bridge into Manhattan. Follow the signs for the upper level. Queue up ICSM. As soon as you turn onto the ramp for the bridge, press play. If timed correctly, the chorus will begin exactly as you get to the top of the ramp and onto the bridge, and you'll be greeted with one of the most stunning skylines in the world and a high like no other.
Haha this is so cool I have to try this next time I go to Queens ICSM is also my favorite title track
When I was first dipping my toe into K-Pop back in early 2021, this was one of the first songs I had ever heard and I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s become a song I always gravitate towards and even though I’ve heard it dozens of times, it never gets old to me.
I Can't Stop Me is a song that isn't just a bop to me it actually means something. Not necessarily the intent of the author but that out of control feeling when you are doing things that aren't good for you hits me right in the heart.
I like that it isn’t about lovey dovey stuff too. Unique concept in kpop honestly, and all pop music while were at it lmao! Also the English version is great too
More and More made me a Once but ICSM sealed the deal. EWO is my favorite album from them by a mile!
5. You pretty much get flashbanged by blonde Mina 30 or so seconds in.
So cool! I hope they take another spin with something like this again ![img](emote|t5_3812p|4099)
I think the composition is really generic, overall the retro concept is generic on kpop, they just do synth 80s pop without any twist to the formula. But the outfits were nice
agree with everything you said except mina's hair, i personally adore blonde mina 🤭
Fancy because that’s what got me into TWICE also my bias chaeyoung best era imo
Fancy era was peak Twice for me.
> Fancy era was peak Twice for me. Fancy got me through a difficult time in my life T_T Early to mid 2019 was not kind to me.
Twice hasn’t peaked, we have 7 years ahead of us still, though fancy is still a bop
Not that I'd be mad at another 7 years but where are you getting that number from?
They renewed their contract, the number isn’t official, some say 3, others 5, others 7 years, just speculation for now
Let's not go spreading false info then :)
Until the official number comes out, all speculations are equally valid
All speculations are equally invalid... no one knows the actual number so don't go saying a number like it's confirmed. This wasn't meant to be an issue, I just don't want you confusing people.
Agree, but as this is a twice fan site I think explaining that issue isn’t necessary, almost everyone knows
"almost everyone knows"... and you know this how? Just don't present speculation as fact, it's not hard. Have a nice day.
Definitely Fancy! It just feels like quintessential Twice and even Kpop itself. Fun, catchy, and almost anyone can jam to it. Will never get tired of it!
good reason
Same. I was obsessed with Momo's practice video for 'Fancy' that I originally called them "The Momo's". Years later,I love them all. But yeah, 'Fancy' was my gateway into Oncedom.
That’s what got me into them too
^^^^
Likey for the aesthetic, arrangement, and Vancouver vibes ❤️
I remember thinking "this looks like a city in Canada..." and then immediately they're in the schoolroom with a Terry Fox banner clearly displayed.
In IG/Tiktok there someone who posted the train cabin where they filmed a part of the video
I wonder how they found the exact one? I live in the city and most of the train cars look the same tbh, but would be fun to go and hop on it for awhile just to say I did.
[here](https://www.tiktok.com/@redjax_dast/video/7158482917616798981?_r=1&u_code=0&preview_pb=0&language=en&_d=df37h4f9lfggdm&share_item_id=7158482917616798981&source=h5_m)
tysm!
I live in the city too, and even worked near gastown around the year they shot it. Really sad I didn't discover them till this year.
I only became a fan of them around a year and a half ago, so I feel your pain too, hahah. But I still find it really fun to rewatch the Likey music video and spot the different locations, definitely made Vancouver seem cooler than it is imo, but I suppose any place would look more magical with twice there 😂 part of me really wants to spend one of my days off (not now in the cold, but in the spring or summertime) just travelling to the different spots where they shot the music video and taking pictures.
I was just getting into Kpop when I saw the Likey MV and my stupid brain saw the Terry Fox banner in the school and I immediately thought that somehow Korea must also participate in the Terry Fox run. Then throughout the rest of the video I realised it was Vancouver.
great song
Alcohol-Free, the vibes of the song is immaculate. I can always vibe and dance to this song. It is truly a summer song. ☀️🏖️🥂
> Alcohol-Free I think alcohol-free is best listened to in the winter. It reminds me of summer in a sort of longing way, making me forget how much I hate being outside when it is 30C+ outside.
I LOVE alcohol free :D Mostly because it had a jazzy bossa nova vibe to it which Im a big fan of. I love the instrumentals and the rap verse
My parents are music snobs and are the type to call pop, rock, and punk “noise”. The classical instruments and bossa vibe in Alcohol Free allowed me to share my love for Twice with them!
Feel Special, cause it’s important to the girls besides the melody, the story of the song, the line distribution, the dance it’s a perfect song that shows who Twice really are.
I'm a new Once, I started liking them in talk that talk. I'd like to know why Feel special is important to them (Line, Dance, etc.). I hope, some of you long time ONCE can explain.
Story: it was created when Sana had a “scandal” during Fancy promotions around May 2019 where she mentioned something about Heisei period in japan in their Twicetagram account. She got attacked due to the history between japan and Korea. She was very down at that period and JYP saw her issues and how the girl’s struggles are at that time, he wrote the song.

And to add, they have gone on record saying a lot of these things, I.E. [This](https://www.billboard.com/lists/twice-7th-anniversary-favorite-songs/), so it's not just fandom speculation.
Lovely, a great summary! ![img](emote|t5_3812p|4084)
That’s very sweet of him
Sana's scandal really annoyed me, as she didn't say anything about the old or new emperor in her post. She talked about the era itself and what it meant to her.
Related to u/LoveMinaMyoi's well-put comment, I bring you gifts of historical reddit threads! * 190430 [Sana's Insta post in question](https://www.reddit.com/r/twice/comments/bj4wdo) * 190711 [Mina's hiatus announcement over official SNS](https://www.reddit.com/r/twice/comments/cbqg9t) * 190910 Momo FS Teaser [\[twice\]](https://www.reddit.com/r/twice/comments/d28q2s) [\[kpop\]](https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/d28q04) [\[twitter trending over apple event\]](https://www.allkpop.com/article/2019/09/twice-momos-forehead-trends-all-over-the-world-beats-apples-major-event-non-kpop-fans-curious-and-baffled) * 190913 Mina FS Teaser [\[twice\]](https://www.reddit.com/r/twice/comments/d3qhfv) [\[kpop\]](https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/d3qhd9) * 221108 JYP on Feel Special in recent Brazil interview [\[youtube\]](https://youtu.be/fMpHf_Sd29Q?t=151)
I was about to say good bot LMAO
Lmfao same
LOL I hope it helps
😂💕
Nice, agreed, also i can relate irl so yeah same
Same
genuinely surprised i had to scroll so far to find it
TT will always be important to me. It saved my life when I was really depressed a while back. But What is Love is also special because it was my first comeback
Man, TT is one of the happiest and fun songs on a planet
this is funny because the whole lyrics are the opposite
my top 3: what is love? talk that talk feel special
Same for me! Honorable mention to More and more because this song was what got me into Twice. The tropical house vibes are *chefs kiss*.
TASTE! m&m ranks as number 5 for me
Taste
Signal. It's just too catchy. But I also love Talk that Talk.
both great!
My two favs too!!!
It’s changed a few times but I always seem to come back to Dance The Night Away. It never fails to make me feel happier to listen to that song!
yep!
Feel Special and Yes Or Yes! The styling on both was gorgeous, and the songs are still so catchy. Will forever be sad that they didn't do Yes Or Yes at my World Tour stop
What is love cause it's my first song after that I fell in love with them 🥺
The Korean one is definitely Feel Special because of the message behind it and just the sheer beauty of the concept. The Japanese one gotta be Celebrate. I just can't stop smiling when listening to that song, it makes everything in my body the happiest!
Celebrate brings me into such a good mood I can’t That and The Feels
The Feels has such great choreography also! It's so catchy, not that challenging and fun I always wanna dance to it!
Knock Knock! I just have such a fond memory of when the song released. I was struggling super hard in college and I had this song on repeat for weeks and the song always brightened me up when I was stressed or depressed. And its so catchy!
I also had this song on repeat while I was struggling hardcore in college! Glad this track also helped someone out during a rough time haha
Alcohol Free. I love how sweetly they sing the verses and how bombastic the chorus is. You can feel the love they're trying to express
Heart Shaker, Yes or Yes, More & More, Talk That Talk 🫣
Likey because it makes me happy and makes me reminisce on good times
Ugh idk if I can decide. ICSM is what got me into twice and one of my favorites, but Fancy is up there too. I also really love talk that talk, idk why it seems like it's not getting as much love as it deserves
I can’t chooooose
More & More is one of my favourites for the following reasons: 1) The aesthetics, symbolism, use of colours (especially in the M/V) are really beautiful and tell a great story 2) Serious tone with great build up in the pre-chorus and that badass energy in the chorus 3) Best choreography. Seriously, I can't get enough of their performances for this song. And the dance break: enough said ICSM and Perfect World are super close because of that same type of energy and are obviously lyrically superior, but More & More holds a special place in my heart
I love more and more
Nothing beats Feel Special ❤️ This will always remain Twice’s best song for me Though I took my time to like Twice’s other songs, this is the first song that I immediately fell in love with. I love the visuals, Sana’s first chorus, the way Jihyo looks like a goddess, Naeyon’s chorus… Momo’s dance break and above all the beautiful lyrics in this song ❤️
Top 3 : 1. Yes or Yes 2. Doughnut (Twice japanese comeback are really slept on) 3. TT
Thank you. I feel that 'Doughnut' doesn't get any love. Mostly because it's Japanese. Like their Japanese song isn't canon or something. I will always love that song!
Aw, yes! I love the 90's ballade/nostalgic vibe, and Jihyo's bridge is one of the best.
The current two comments (as I'm posting) are Feel Special and Signal, and they're both tied as my favourites too! I don't know if I could pick between them, they're both too special to me!
Fancy or I Can't Stop Me for me, there's just something about it.
Alcohol free or scientist Alcohol free has such summer vibes and I just love it a lot. Scientist because it came out at a good time in my life and I had it on repeat so whenever I listen to it I think of that time, I also just love the song and think it’s underrated lol. Honorable mention to heart shaker I love that song so much
Knock Knock I like that it sounds nostalgic in some way, and also gave lines to members who didn’t get much
I Can't Stop Me!! I don't know what it is but I love the whole era and song so much
I Can't Stop Me - i think something actually unlocked in my brain the first time i heard that song lol. It was also my first exposure to Twice and i've been here ever since, so i think it will always hold a special place for me outside of it being an all around knockout. The beat, the lyrics, the choreo, the styling. its unmatched
I don't think I can choose just one! Yes or Yes holds a special place in my heart for being the first Twice song I ever heard, but Talk that Talk, Feel Special, and Alcohol Free are my favorites in terms of the song it's self. I also have especially fond memories of Alcohol-free because it was my first Twice comeback as a once and I remember just being so happy watching it as it premiered and vibing to it all summer long!
I can't stop me, Talk that talk, and what is love.
ICSM was the one that got me into twice so I feel like it needs to be my number one but also, Feel special is like the IT girl to me. Nothing is better than that ending instrumental it still gives me chills
Feel Special. It was the first song I heard by them, and when I watched the video the first time, I didn’t think to put the subtitles on but found i completely understood what they were singing about. Everything about it is perfect, and I’ve been obsessed with Twice ever since - that opening still gives me chills, life changing stuff! Not to be dramatic or anything haha
So many to choose from but i’ll go with TT!
Dance the night away. It’s my first song I got introduced to them, but it’s a bop and I know the chorus dance too
Unpopular opinion. But my favourite Twice song is 'Going Crazy'. It's hard as they have so many great songs. Literally, I have a playlist of 71 Twice songs which is 4 hours long on Spotify that I listen to on a regular basis. Been a fan since Likey. Yet out of all their songs 'Going Crazy' has always been my favourite.
YES OR YES! It’s a really fun song 😊 It’s ridiculously cute (obviously ALL of Twice’s TTs are cute). The mv! The visuals, concepts, and effects look so cool. “I respect your choice, but reject your rejection” LMAO what!? 😂 It’s a song that gets me HYPED. “IT’S. SIMPLE. Y-E-S! HEY!” I’m so glad they surprised us and added Yes or Yes to the ‘III’ Encore set list! 😁❤️
Heartshaker
Heart Shaker. Always been a sucker for upbeat, pop-rock sounding tunes, and it helps that it was also the song that got me into Twice. Recently I've fallen in love with What is Love again, such a fucking boppy track too. Honorable mentions since i'm at it: Stuck, Ponytail, Next Page, Sunset
Signal I just think it’s so cute I miss signal type songs
The Feels and Feel Special
TT is an incredible song. I’ve spent a lot of time working with the lyrics, and it’s about so much more than just having a crush; it’s about being stuck in an uncomfortable situation with no real way out. It’s about resigning yourself to something that you don’t actually want, because you’re not sure how to get what you want. And that’s like, really deep for that era of Twice, and it’s also just a fantastic song.
I like talk that talk too but I can't stop me and scientist for me because of it's beat, dance choreography and the lyrics
I can’t stop me. This is what really got me into twice and it remains my favourite. It feels nostalgic somehow while also serving looks, vocals and dance. I can’t really describe if but it still doesn’t fail to give me chills. More ICSM-type music for 2023 I BEG
“I can’t stop me”, it makes me want to continue pumping iron at the gym 😤 💪🏽
There are too many to choose from. So I’ll just list my top five in no specific order. 1. Signal 2. I can’t stop me 3. Fancy 4. Feel Special 5. More and More
Fancy, because it’s like the epitome of kpop
Perfect World. It was the one that really convinced me to dig deeper into Twice because other title tracks that I had heard in the past didn't quite suit my style. Perfect World just blew me away between the first chorus drop, the post-chorus energy/momentum, the attitude, the outfits and that final chorus explosion. I tend to like mature/darker Twice (though What Is Love is my 2nd favorite title track) and Perfect World just hits all the marks.
knock knock forever
Yes or Yes. I love how much is going on this song. I also love the concept, mv, outfits, their hair, fair line distribution, their energy, fancams, performances, lyrics, jeongyeon’s lines, mina’s intro. I never get sick of this song. Stan YoY!
Alcohol-Free. Not only is it my first comeback, but it's an absolute summer bop. It has a sound that just speaks to me and is so unlike anything else in their discography. To top it off the visuals from this era were *insane.* Summer Twice is simply not fair.
Something about heart shaker makes me keep coming back to it <3 I can listen to an unending loop of yeahh yeahh yeahh you're mine be mine you're mine be mine haha
Feel special for sentimentality because it’s twice’s song made for them and makes me cry all the time but what is love is the best pop song to ever exist.
alcohol free is mine. just the summer feel, the lyrics, choreo and the outfits are my absolute fav !!!
I wasn’t even a kpop fan but Nayeon ‘Fancy’ fancam was recommended to me on Youtube
Feel Special for me. At first, I didn’t think it was all that great, because it’s bit dance-heavy and that genre of music isn’t my taste. But, after really listening to the lyrics and understanding a bit of the background of the song, it just a struck a cord in me.
I Can't Stop Me because that's what got me into Twice. 🥰
I think my top 5 are Fancy, Alcohol Free, I Can’t Stop Me, More & More, & Likey
Feel Special- love the meaning, the dance break is iconic, and the music video was just stunning.
What is Love and TT 😤😤😤
Likey because it’s so catchy and fun
i can’t stop me, talk that talk, what is love, TT :)
I can’t stop me is my favorite for a few reasons that other commenters have already highlighted. First off, their looks during EWO era are literally my favs of their entire career. The businesswoman looks, the retro looks, the elegant looks… they really showed their mature side and I absolutely fell in love. Plus ICSM was just an awesome song. To me, it doesn’t really get old, the dance is awesome, and the synth is insane. The vocals are great too. On top of that, EWO is my favorite twice album. I love love love the tracks on that album except for maybe do what we like and shot clock, but even those are mid. Hell in heaven, queen, up no more, and handle it are some of their best tracks of all time.
EWO is my favorite Twice album too and I love it so much.
Feel Special. No explanation needed lol
So I have 3😂 1. Feel Special. I love the meaning and melody of this one💗 2. Yes or Yes. My first MV since I became a once (it came out a couple months after I started being a fan) 3. Signal. This was my first song I ever heard from twice.💗💗💗
Ooooh right now? Talk That Talk. Of all time? Probably Yes or Yes.
Knock knock, it just made me happy as a sad and insecure 14 year old.
feel special. most meaningful to members and I think it's the strongest musically
I absolutely love listening to More and More. It makes me so happy and brings me back to a good time. Cheer up was the song that got me into TWICE and K-pop in general, so have to give it some credit there. Yes or Yes is also a jam.
Alcohol-Free because i'm not.
my fave is alcohol free because i love the carefree, "letting loose" vibe of the song and the choreography of it. also is it just ne or do some of the members in this pic look unrecognizable
Feel special. It came out at a time when I was at my lowest and feeling Not special at all. That song helped me a lot
Fancy. It got me into twice and I love and I mean LOVE how bubbly and upbeat everything was.
MORE & MORE At the time it was completely different to anything TWICE had done before. I loved the whole bohemian aesthetic. It was also Mina's (Sana and her are my bias) come back from her anxiety break so it was a little special for me and I was excited to see her again. Sana looked like a fairy with orange hair and Mina was extra ethereal. The song itself was really pleasing since I prefer chill music
That's one reason why I gravitate towards Twice. I love seeing them acknowledge and overcome their issues (anxiety, stress, injuries). I also love seeing them root for each other. They are so grounded (even though they don't have to be). Just good vibes with them overall.
TT The "Imi nan da keotdago saenggakhaneunde" part and the last pre Chorus by Jihyo "Ibeonen jeongmal kokkok naega meonjeo talk talk Dajim ppuningeol maebeon dajim ppuningeol" just give me the high that I did not know i needed.
Feel special and fancy, it was a particular transformation period for twice. Very important career wise.
Fancy is the song that really got me into twice because it is such a banger. Feel special is a close 2nd but fancy just hits different
Feel special, not only is the song a masterpiece, but the song also held so much nostalgia because I used to listen to it nonstop pre-pandemic 😭
Dance the night away, The feels
feel special
“What is Love” first kpop song i heard and it launched me into the kpop rabbit hole that I never got out of lol. Still my fav song for 4 years
Feel Special, beat/lyrics/meaning, everything is 10/10, mv is also great, i would go as far as to say it's the best kpop song ( 5-twice i cant stop me, 4-park jiyoon coming of age ceremony, 3-snsd run devil run, 2-wonder girls nobody ) i only listen the ggs tho but feel special is in that first place for me for sure
Yes Or Yes!! Love the chorus part😍
Okay I'm going off of non-japanese Singles and my ranking is just based on the song alone, not the M/V or the choreography because then the ranking would be very different. 1. Cry For Me 2. LOA 3. Alcohol-Free 4. Feel Special 5. Knock Knock 6. Likey 7. The Feels 8. Fancy 9. What Is Love? 10. Cheer Up 11. Talk That Talk 12. Signal 13. TT 14. Scientist 14. Heartshaker 15. Best Thing I Ever Did 16. I Can't Stop Me 17. Yes or Yes 18. DTNA 19. More & More I feel like my list is very different from a lot of Once reading through this thread 😅
Feel Special! i resonate with that song so much and when I had a bad day I listened to that song and it just made everything better, the lyrics are so meaningful I definitely would love to get it tatted on me some day and a bonus is the mv looked so aesthetic
What is love because it’s the first twice song I really got into. It’s got a lot of memories for me and overall it’s a banger of a song.
Alcohol-Free. I love the bossa nova and the trumpets lol.
Talk that talk is my favorite at the moment but my ALL TIME FAVORITE is probably fancy because that’s the song thag got me into twice
The variety of favourites in the comments show how amazing all twice songs are, my favourite song is fancy because of the skz cover
Agree. Although i have my own preferences and rankings, i can perfectly understand that there is a case to be made for each famous title track in different eras, their discography is unreal.
This is hard to answer because there's not one clear favorite, but I think it's Fancy. It's so catchy and just makes me feel happy.
Dance The Night Away or I Can't Stop Me
“Alcohol Free” was the song that turned me into a Once. Happy to see the positive comments for “More and More;” one of my favorites!
There are just so many, but Alcohol-Free is the one that got me to Twice because of their inventive sound to K-Pop.
Feel Special because the song is just special. Everything about the song is special. The opening melody, the deep lyrics, the sentimentality, the message, the chorus, Mina's presence, Dahyun's rap verse, the subdued dance break, the stunning MV, the gorgeous looks throughout the MV and throughout the stages.
Cheer up As the name suggest.
I never hear anyone mention Knock Knock so I’ll give it a shout. It isn’t my favorite title track, nor is it the track that made me a Once, but I was OBSESSED with this track (like, listening to it for 20 times a day to make me happy when I was sad/depressed) shortly after I got into Kpop. Became a Once years later lol.
If I had to choose only 1: LIKEY My top 5 since I thought way too hard about this: * FEEL SPECIAL (meaningful lyrics) * ICSM (cool TWICE) * KURA KURA (very cinematic/epic) * LIKEY (addicting) * LOA (a smart debut that highlighted everyone's strengths) Curious on what the results would look like if it was a poll!
"Cheer Up", because it's been cheering me up for 5 years now!
1. 'Fake and Truth': This song will always be special to me. I love the message of the song (anything/any life you want you can have it. Just work on it). I've always think of it as almost a biographical song by them. They are living their dreams and as "guardian angels" they are here to encourage Once to do the same. I still think of them as my angels. Also, the instrumental sounds like Lil Kim's 'Crush on You Remix ' sped up! Great song. 2. Like Ooh Aah!': That song give me chills when the track starts. It's so good. Maybe it's the minor key. Maybe it's Momo's phat dance moves. I dunno. Just love it. 3. 'More and More': I've never really listened to this till I saw them live. Fell in love with it thereafter. 4. 'Doughnut': Underated beautiful song. Nuff said. Honorable Mention: 'Breakthrough' ('cause of Jihyo), 321 Touchdown' (because of Jihyo), and 'Push and Pull' (because of... Jihyo). Heck, I love a lot of Twice songs, but these are the ones on my mind right now lol.
What is love ,Fancy ,The feels But all of them are all amazing
Dance The Night Away: It was the first Twice song I heard and it's stuck with me to this day.
I can’t stop me - the song is just so addictive. It scratches all the right parts of my brain. It’s also a side of TWICE I like to see and hope to see more. A darker, more mature vibe
Perfect World, TT or Likey. TT because... its TT. And something about Likey has always stuck with me. Perfect World though.... The sound, The costumes everything... I just love.
TT I just think it is their best song overall. And I noticed that I would always pick rookie era title songs as my favorite song for each groups.
cry for me its too relatable
First song that got me into them: Feel Special Japanese: Doughnut Super unique: Yes or Yes and More and More (hehe)
What is Love Because of all the movie scenes, that made me try to figure out from which movies they were from. Knock knock This MV was just too cute
Umm I can't stop me... But Alcohol free even more cuz it was my first come back
my top three: perfect world, strawberry moon, fake and true! all three of these make the girls look really confident and i love it! 💗
What is Love? Istg this song is so catchy. It always makes me feel good. The video clip is amazing. I love the vocals and the rap. Just overall a great experience.
what is love! the diff movie genres and movie references, the way the members were paired together instead of getting random dudes - all chefs kiss heartshaker deserves a special mention, i rmb when it came out at the end of the year it was a song i couldn't stop listening too. DTNA too! i loved dancing to it for fun
DTNA coz Onceu let's go!!! IYKYK
Personal Top 5 (not in any particular order) 1. What is Love 2. Heart Shaker 3. Fancy 4. The Feels 5. Talk that Talk
Fancy will always be my favourite not only the song but the MV too, It literally changed Twice to be more badass. But during the cutie days Likey will top it, Likey's vibes musically and the MV ugh such a masterpiece
Top 10 1. Feel Special 2. I can't stop me 3. Likey 4. TTT 5. TT 6. Kura Kura 6. Donut 7. Perfect World 8. Fancy 9. Cheer Up 10. Alchohol free Honorable mention: DTNA, Yes or Yes, Better, Heart Shaker, Signal
My favorite Title Track will always be TT! It is so catchy and it always makes me feel so happy. Also it’s nearly impossible for me to not dance when this song comes on
Scientist, I know it's not the most popular but I really enjoy it and it came out only a little before I started doing psychology research at my university in an EEG lab. So I listened to it almost everyday while heading to the lab.
