Korean girl group TWICE has released the track list for their new album. It has attracted attention that three members participated in lyrics.


Ahead of the release of their 5th mini album and title song "What is Love?" on April 9, TWICE has released various contents such as the new album promotion timetable, group and individual teaser images, and track list in relay format, stimulating fans' curiosity.


JYP Entertainment released a track list image containing information on some of the songs included in "What is Love?" through their official SNS at noon on the 29th.


The list revealed that the first track and title song "What is Love?" was written and composed by JYP CEO Park Jinyoung. Furthermore, it was revealed that members Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung participated in writing the lyrics for the second track, "SWEET TALKER," and Jihyo participated in writing the lyrics for the third track, "HO!", which has attracted even more attention.

When the group image for the title track of their fifth mini-album, "What is Love?", was released, the article had this passage:


★ "What is Love?" is a dance song that depicts the curiosity and imaginative world of a girl who learned about love from picture books, novels, movies, and dramas. It combines a bright melody with an up-tempo dance beat and a rhythm that moves between the trap genre, making it a song that shows diverse musical changes.


The words "diverse musical changes" made me think of MOMOLAND's "BBoom BBoom."
"BBoom BBoom" is becoming a popular song, with views increasing across the board, not only for the official MV, but also for videos derived from various music shows.


You can guess whether a song is popular not only from the number of views but also from the number of comments.
I've been watching MOMOLAND's "BBoom BBoom" video a lot lately. Up until now, I've never bothered to comment on any K-POP song I've listened to. I thought I could just write my thoughts on my blog.


But this song has the power to get you in the mood and pull you in as you listen to it. And there were times when I got excited about the stage and even tried to leave a comment.


As I thought of it, I went to make a comment, but then a message popped up saying that "email charges will be incurred." That put me off, or rather, it kind of ruined my mood. Email charges are not that expensive. If it weren't for that strange hassle, "BBoom BBoom" would have been the first song I commented on on YouTube.


I mentioned this song because I think Park Jinyoung had "BBoom BBoom" in mind when he was planning his comeback song "What is Love?".


★ "...A bright melody combined with an up-tempo dance beat and a rhythm that goes back and forth between the trap genre, this song shows a variety of musical changes..."


This seems to be a good description for "BBoom BBoom." Now that TWICE's new song "What is Love?" has not been revealed in its entirety, it is not at all strange to use this description to describe the content of "BBoom BBoom."


"BBoom BBoom" is a song that is created in many parts that recall phrases from songs you have heard somewhere. There are quite a few fans who have mentioned this in their comments. However, no matter who brings out what song "BBoom BBoom" is "BBoom BBoom." What is gaining popularity now is not the song that was brought out, but "BBoom BBoom."


No matter what people say, if the song surpasses that and becomes popular, it wins, and if it loses, it will just sink.


Therefore, it is very interesting to see what kind of song Park Jinyoung's "What is Love?" is.
