English tracks give K-Pop groups the chance to expand their audiences, but also connect with their international fans. TWICE released their first English single “The Feels” on October 1, 2021 along with a music video. The single brought many opportunities for the group, making this their first song to appear on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 83. As of 2022, the song sits at 280,796,323 streams on Spotify, making it their second most popular song on the platform. 

The disco-pop track gives us a chance to dance but also listen to the girls’ wonderful vocals. Despite her hiatus, member Jeongyeon still participated in the song and music video which was a relief for fans that were anticipating her return. The catchy lyrics stick to your brain and leave you wanting more from the group, especially if it’s your first time listening to them. The song is accompanied by an even catchier dance which became a sensation on TikTok, and allowed fans to show how much the track can make you move. 

The song talks about “The Feels” the members are going through towards a love interest—feeling a sense of attraction towards someone while also knowing they’re experiencing the same thing. The girls sing and rap about a connection they’re feeling towards someone while also hoping the person doesn’t let their heart go. 

THE MUSIC VIDEO

The music video opens with a letter being slid under a door which Chaeyoung proceeds to open to find that there is an invitation to a prom party. Throughout the video, you’ll see the girls dancing along to the song while getting ready for the prom. With colorful sets and outfits, the music video gives viewers the chance to get to know TWICE and what concept the group has. At the end of the video, fans can spot a poster that’s framed on a wall that included spoilers for what was next for the girls. From a sixth debut anniversary event, to a new album, and a tour announcement, the poster left Onces wanting to know more. 

Since the release of “The Feels,” TWICE has released another English track named “MOONLIGHT.” Seven years after debut, the girls continue to set records and show what their group brings into the industry. After the release of their latest album, BETWEEN 1&2, Onces are waiting to see what’s next for the girls.
