TWICE - What is Love [K-Pop T_T].mp4

     I originally planned to save one of my all time favorite K-Pop songs and my atf song from my ultimate bias gg, TWICE, for a landmark 4th or 5th anniversary. But with "What is Love?" currently trending and re-charting thanks to a trend that started in the Philippines with TikTok challenges that have reached over 900K as of July 13, 2021, I decided to release a surprise edit for my fans and for Onces worldwide. It's a song that's really special to me. It cemented my stan status over TWICE with it's polished production by collapsedone and lyrics by JY Park. It's an incredibly nostalgic song that at once captures the naivety and wonder of the curiosity of falling in love. In short it gives me the heavy feels and I can't help but tearing up once I read the meaning of the lyrics coupled with the emotional melody and delivery by the current queens of K-Pop.

It is not uncommon, especially this year, to see an old title song come back to relevance from the past. Brave Girls' "Rollin", for instance, is a song from 2017 that got re-charted and trending from TikTok challenges as well. So I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of that happen to other songs and artists for the rest of 2021. GFRIEND, I'm waiting for "Navillera" to re-trend and re-chart. ;)

So happy re-charting of "What is Love?"!!! Please enjoy the subbed video and follow us on IG and TikTok and subscribe to the blog and YouTube channel. Thank you!!!

From wiki:

"What Is Love?" was written and composed by Park Jin-young, who previously produced "Signal", and it was arranged by Lee Woo-min "collapsedone", who co-produced "Knock Knock" and "Candy Pop". According to JYP Entertainment, the song is about "the love girls would dream about or imagine after learning about it through books, movies or dramas" and it has a bright melody and uptempo dance beat incorporating trap. Tamar Herman of Billboard described the song as having "retro electro-pop styling" and an "addictive choral hook", with "digital quirks, sparkling chimes, and staccato'd percussion over the bubblegum melody".

Like the music video for "Cheer Up", the members of Twice portray characters from famous films in the "What Is Love" music video. Nayeon is Mia from The Princess Diaries, Jeongyeon and Sana are Molly and Sam from Ghost, Mina and Dahyun are Vic and Matthieu from La Boum, Sana and Tzuyu are Mia and Vincent from Pulp Fiction, Jeongyeon and Tzuyu are Romeo and Juliet from Romeo + Juliet, Jihyo and Jeongyeon are Itsuki/Hiroko and male Itsuki from Love Letter, Momo and Tzuyu are Mia and Sebastian from La La Land, and Dahyun and Chaeyoung are Léon and Mathilda from Léon: The Professional. The music video also has scenes showing the song's choreography, Twice at a sleepover watching the movies on TV, and Dahyun's "commercial break" that includes product placement for Acuvue contact lenses. The music video was ranked fourth on the 2018 YouTube's Most Popular Music Videos list in South Korea. It also ranked at number 5 on the 2018 YouTube's Top Trend Music Videos in Japan.
