The unchanging message TWICE wants to convey through their 1st comeback after contract renewal

TWICE makes a comeback for the first time this year after all members renewed their contracts. 

TWICE officially returned to the music scene with the new mini album “BETWEEN 1&2” and the MV for the title track “Talk that Talk” at 1pm KST on August 26th.

This marks TWICE’s 1st comeback in 9 months after the 3rd full album “Formula of Love: O+T=<3” released in November 2021. Last year, TWICE’s 3rd full album received good results, such as ranking No.3 on the US Billboard 200. Therefore, a lot of attention is paid to their comeback this year. 

In particular, this album is even more special because it is TWICE’s 1st comeback after all 9 members renewed their contracts with JYP Entertainment. The album name, “BETWEEN 1&2”, also means stories between TWICE and their fandom ONCE. It is meant to express TWICE’s deep bond with the fans.

The title track “Talk that Talk” has a message about love that TWICE wants fans to hear. The lyrics read, “Tell me what you want / Tell me what you need / A to Z, tell me everything”, “Talk that talk only one word / Talk that talk L-O-V-E”, “Simple words I love you / That’s all I want to hear,” etc. 

“Talk that Talk” quickly captures listeners’ ears with a sophisticated blend of Y2K’s (2000’s) unique sensibility, thrilling beat, and familiar yet addictive melody. It is composed by Lee Woo Min, who co-wrote “KNOCK KNOCK” and “The Feels”, thus signaling the birth of another hit.

Prior to the album release, TWICE members expressed their excitement about the fact that this is their first activity after contract renewal in an interview. Jeongyeon said, “It is more meaningful because it is the first album to be released after all 9 members have renewed their contracts. That’s why I’m even more excited and looking forward to the album promotions.”

Sana said, “‘BETWEEN 1&2’ is TWICE’s first album after all the members’ contracts have been renewed. So, I want to give meaning to the fact that nine of us will be together as always.”

In an album that means “The Stories Between ONCE and TWICE”, the title track with “L-O-V-E” highlighted in the lyrics seems to be a perfect gift for fans.
