Formula Of Love

Product Information

A. (Falling In Love Again)’ sets us up on a precarious cliffside, ‘Last Waltz’ and ‘Espresso’ sucker punch us one after the other and send us hurtling down deeper into the ocean of TWICE. Raj added that the group's "absolute and unapologetic embracing of their concept has led them to the point where they can subvert it and still be considered credible". Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. Even a cursory look at their oeuvre reveals it: no other act in K-pop has spoken as much and as expansively about love and its multitude of complexities as they have.

Their contemporaries and the girl group with the greatest traction in the US, BLACKPINK, typify this archetype, and with a higher success rate than most. The tail end of the album proper does something rather unique, splitting the group into three groups of three for some electrifying features. She’s much nicer about it, though, giving him the chance to show the real him (before she completely obliterates him, of course).While the latter takes a more simplistic, classic approach to the two genres, it’s no less heady in it’s proclamations of ‘playing it cool’ in the game of attraction. TWICE’s absolute and unapologetic embracing of their concept has led them to the point where they can subvert it and still be considered credible. After having explored love and all its facets for years, they’re left with one simple, delightful realisation: this is no formula. ICON” however, itself a top-tier cut on the album, deviates from nu-disco entirely and gives listeners another fully English, heavily hip-hop track with one of the best lines on the album as Momo says, “Damn, I got it/I’m iconic” alongside heavy, punctuated percussion. Of these, 58,000 were pure sales, 8,000 were streaming-equivalent units, and a negligible amount were track-equivalent units.

The tenth track, "Cactus" ( 선인장), written and composed by Jihyo, is a ballad that incorporates pop-rock elements. Right off the gate, you know that ‘Formula Of Love: O+T=˂3’ is coming at exactly the right time for TWICE. Hailed by critics as “channelling ‘80s nostalgia through its 'tropical disco vibes’ and ‘cute percussion, claps and marimba leads’, this upbeat song features TWICE professing their deep affection for and attraction to a lover.If it’s TWICE bringing more dance pop to us wrapped up in glamour and disco-glitter, you best believe we’re eating it up with a soup ladle. And while ‘Real You’ gives us our daily dose of femme-fatale, it’s on ‘Cactus’ – appearing much later in the album – where Jihyo’s lyricism spreads its wings and soars. The title has dual meanings: 'when ONCE and TWICE meet, it becomes love (<3)' by using the initials of ONCE, the official name of TWICE's fandom, and TWICE, and it is the third full-length album ('1+2=3') by using English words. While TWICE revisit this bravado on ‘Hello’ much later in the album – more hard-hitting and hip-hop adjacent – something about Momo’s “Damn, I got it, I’m iconic,” just hits different.

The song's genre was variously described as city pop-inspired, [16] dance-pop and future funk, [12] and disco-pop, [1] accompanied by elements of 1980s soul and hip-hop. But after an album exploring the complexities of love and breakups, a straight love song feels like sonic caramel, in no small part because of the song’s legato construction and minimal composition.LAST WALTZ” is the saddest song on the album despite its still driving beat – it ponders the last moments of a relationship when the inevitable end approaches, but both partners strive to give the other the best, happiest last hours possible. Revenge becomes a deliciously cold dish on ‘Cruel’, a fast-paced track about turning the tables on someone while still maintaining innocence. The 16-track project, their longest to date, is led by the single “The Feels,” their first full English digital single, which was released on October 1, 2021.
