Hey groupies welcome back to formal therapy, I'm the channel producer and today
We're checking out likey by twice is there more to say. This is the nation's girl group after all there are high expectations
So let's just dive right into this and let's see what it's like
I'm trying to learn the twice member names. This is Jihyo, right?
Because I really only know Jungyeon and Dahyun, I think her name is Dahyun.
interesting so they're going for like a
self-cam concepts.
Okay, no they're not I was wrong all right
Huh, so they're starting off with the chorus.
If this is the chorus I actually really like it
We'll see
I'm trying to learn her name because I like her a lot. It's either Mina or Sana right?
My god Jungyeon looks so good
Wow, that color looks great on her
Did you see the way like the light was hitting her like?
They shot that like during like golden hours like it was very very beautiful actually even here - I feel like in
General those scenes might have been shot during the Golden Hour
It's very picturesque
Also I gotta say twice this a lot of traditional girl group talk scene, but there's a lot of vocal work here
That's a weird move the whole
But I'm digging this chorus
Okay, I like this course, which one's her is she Momo?
I
Like her too. You know what I think I just like all of twice. I'm like getting into that
I don't know
I I only started off with liking Jungyeon
And I think I'm getting into that phase where I'm like starting to appreciate every single member. You know how that yes.
Also, what are they singing about?
Oh, I get it okay the like represents like likes on Instagram or Twitter or Facebook or whatever?
This is very beautiful I
Like the contrast of the indoor scenery and the gymnasium and then outside where the field is
That's a great transition
Oh
Get it. Oh
What
With the tab Oh what that was not long enough, but that was much longer than it usually is
Also this breakdown is amazing. Also, who is she?
Sorry my video quality is like shit. I couldn't see who it was oh
That building is this New York Chicago one of the other right?
Also, I noticed they do this move where they go like this
It's smart because that's where the like button is is on Instagram. It's on the bottom left corner, so they go like this
smart, okay, so I got to admit going into this I was very afraid that I would not like this because
Some people may know I was not a fan of signal a lot of people were a fan of signal
but signal was one of those songs where
After listening to it for maybe the twelfth time all of a sudden you're like oh wait now I get it you know
but it just it didn't work with me didn't vibe with me instantly and
Overall even though now I can listen to it. I still like it's still not on my phone
You know what I mean like signal is just not that type of song frankly
I'm one of those people where I was in love with TT and that was like the last song that I was really in love
with
Mind you have only checked out the title tracks and not any of their b-sides
If TT is number one like use number two like I mean it beats out Like ooh ahh hug it for me what I really
Love about this song first of all is
It breaks this trends that I see a lot in
Girl groups where a lot of girl groups have a lot of talk singing
that's understandable, but it's slightly annoying because I want to hear your vocal prowess you know it's a song right and
There was a lot of singing in the song twice. There's a lot of talk singing. They do a lot of talk singing but
Here there was I don't know like their vocals really really shines honestly in this video
I felt like every single member stood out like that's the weird thing about this music video like I really didn't get a sense of
camera bias like III didn't get the sense of like oh
Jungyeon lacking screen time or oh this person's like in screen time
I think obviously the rapper's lacked screen time throughout the music video
But they also got a very huge chunk at the end has actually impressed
What is JYP all of a sudden doing with their rap line like we had Stray Kids with Hellevator and now?
Twice busting out some sick bars like obviously. It's not like
worldstar worthy
But like it was good especially for twice especially for a girl group
The course is very catchy and not in a very annoying way because I think the chorus it
Starts off with some really good singing it starts off with really good vocal work from
Mina Sana again. I'm trying to learn their names right now
And then it gets into the catchiness with the likey likey part with Momo
I think that's what sets it up very well instead of just jumping into like this catchy infectious ear worm there
There's a lot of artistry behind like setting and building up to this
Catchy chorus instead of just being an infectious ear worm like signal and in fact. I think it harkens back more to TT
We're TT when the chorus starts it starts with some good vocal work first before it goes. I'm like TT. Just like TT
you know so I think the structure and skeleton of this song really makes this something special, and I really like it and
the breakdown
was
amazing first of all the breakdown was amazing cuz I think the breakdown we can't just say it was that dance portion because I think
The breakdown definitely constitutes the rap line as well, but the rap line along with like that small dance portion
I really liked just listening to the instrumental for a little bit
I could really appreciate like the very vibrant pop tones
Which I really enjoyed also visually whoever that was dancing like like my internet is shit in my studio
So that was like 480p quality, so I actually don't know who was dancing
But it was visually pleasing to look at as well, and so I'm definitely gonna re-watch this and like
1080p but you don't really get breakdowns like this in kpop like breakdowns in kpop where it's just no singing
And it's just someone dancing basically a dance break
That's so rare. It was it was such a big thing back in like 2009
2010 2011 days, but now it's sort of subsided, but I really like what they did here
and I like that this is still keeping in line with twice as traditional pop sound I'm glad that this isn't too far off the
mark for them and honestly this is just way better than what I was expecting and Jungyeon looked
so so good like she looked fine like oh my god that hair and I gotta appreciate the
Cinematography here. I don't know where they shot this, but I have to really appreciate
whenever they do outdoor location shoots because if you look at some of the I
Don't pull some video here
If you look at some of the sets and the backdrops they shot at a lot of this is very gorgeous
I don't know where they shot this
I this is clearly either
America or Europe
And it's got this very beautiful aesthetic to it a lot of these shots were clearly during the Golden Hour
because when you see some of the shots especially with Jungyeon and some of the others the way that the Sun is hitting them and
The way they're like basking in that glow it's absolutely gorgeous and honestly
I wouldn't have held it against JYP if they shot this indoors because shooting outdoors is fucking annoying and it's fucking expensive
But I like that the effort was put in here, and I like this whole concept of this was a social media concept
But I feel like done in a more
cute and less
Insulting way. I feel like when music videos tend to do this whole social media concept, it's
Really, I don't know it's really insulting
so to say like it makes you as a person who uses like the specific platform that they're
Showcasing in the music video feel guilty for using it
Maybe that's just me
But here it was fun and cute like I like the consistency that Jihyo was the only one vlogging
She was the one holding the camcorder and throughout
She was the only one holding the camcorder and recording
And she was the only one self camming appreciate the nod to like Instagram likes and stuff like that especially into lyrics and the choreo
But I liked that overall this was a social media themed music video, and it was done in a rather
Loving and not cheeky manner so I think that is something I definitely appreciate from JYP as well, anyways guys. That's it for me
