The Kraze's Favorite TWICE Songs

As global icons and one of the top girl groups in K-Pop, TWICE has spent seven incredible years showcasing their bright charms throughout their discography. With several songs to choose from, it's an easy choice to listen TWICE when you need an uplifting anthem to mend your heart and soul. Anyone that listens to TWICE can stand by this sentiment, as they share a nurturing atmosphere through their greatest hits. Even though it's difficult to choose one song as your favorite, anyone that's ever listened to TWICE definitely has their personal favorite. 

The Kraze staff discussed their favorite songs sung by the sensational global girl group, TWICE. Check out which songs we chose below!

"Queen of Hearts" 

“Queen of Hearts” from their latest album BETWEEN 1&2 would be my personal pick. This B-side shows an immense amount of growth for the group, not only in terms of sonic styling and their confident delivery, but also in terms of lyricism. TWICE as a group have overcome so much throughout their career. From personal struggles to media scrutiny, it is heartwarming to see how they have been able to move past all the hardships and come out stronger than ever before. I think “Queen of Hearts” is a testament to that victory. Putting aside TWICE’s background that makes the song extra special, it is simply an energizing song to listen to that will make you feel like the ruler of the world.

"GET LOUD"

TWICE’s music is a gift that keeps on giving as I always receive so much happiness and serotonin from listening. Their title tracks have always hit the spot for me, but TWICE’s selection of genre-diverse B-sides also deserves the same amount of appreciation. "GET LOUD," in particular, is a hidden gem in their discography and has to be one of my favorite songs of all time with its thumping beat that showcases the girls’ powerful vocals.

"YES or YES" 

As an avid listener of TWICE since 2017, it's difficult to choose a personal favorite amongst a diverse and catchy discography. The one track, however, that I will forever have an attachment to is "YES or YES." When it was first released, the playful soundscape gave me a burst of energy like no other. It's an instant serotonin boost that encouraged me to learn the full choreography. I've seen TWICE perform this track three times in concert, and with each time I hear it, the louder I roar the lyrics with passionate feelings. "YES or YES" brings out a side of me that forever makes me want to replay the song over a thousand times and still not be bored of it.

"What is Love?" 

I think this is a pretty basic answer but "What is Love?'' is my favorite song. I like the contrast between the upbeat tempo and the longing feeling of the lyrics. It's definitely an anthem for someone who has lost hope in love a couple of times. If I'm going to wait for love, I might as well be having fun in the meantime!

"TT" 

My favorite TWICE song will forever be "TT." I'm a sucker for Halloween anything, so while the song may not be about Halloween, listening to it will always make me think of the music video. The costumes are perfect, the choreography is iconic, and I can't be anything but happy when "TT" starts playing.

"Signal" 

So many bops to choose from, but I have to say “Signal” has a special place in my heart. The electronic-pop song itself is cheery, catchy, and instantly uplifting upon listen. The music video concept showcases each member’s special ability to send a signal in charming their crush. The innocence behind the song is actually adorable. I can’t explain it but this song makes me so happy every time!

"Dance The Night Away" 

It's so hard to pick just one, but I think "Dance The Night Away" will always be my favorite. It's my go-to summer anthem because it reminds me of the perfect beach day, and it never fails to put a smile on my face. I also love the castaway concept and members’ stunning visuals in the music video. Overall, "Dance The Night Away" is a sweet and fun song that puts me in a good mood every time I hear it!

"CHEER UP" 

I’d have to say one of my favorite TWICE tracks is an oldie but a goldie, "CHEER UP." I’m a sucker for aggressively happy songs and "CHEER UP" is just perfect. Absolutely amazing vocals, choreography, and concept; definitely one of my favorite K-Pop tracks overall!

"Look At Me" 

It took me forever to pick a song since TWICE has such an unbeatable discography — from title tracks to their amazing B-sides — and, for this reason, they're one of my favorite groups of all time. With that said, "Look At Me" from Twicetagram is (one of) my favorite TWICE songs! They've grown so much since this album, but this song is extremely fun with a great sound. It also holds a lot of nostalgia for me, so I'm always happy when I hear it.

"STRAWBERRY" 

FANCY YOU is indisputably my favorite TWICE album. It's short and sweet but packs a punch like no other; that being said, my favorite moment on the mini-album is actually its cool and calming final track, “STRAWBERRY.” The song is cute and innocently flirtatious, thanks to lyrical genius Chaeyoung, and is one that I can never listen to just once when it comes on.
