TWICE is facing backlash over their new song "THIS IS FOR," from their 4th full-length album of the same name. The music video dropped alongside the album and has stirred up mixed reactions.
While fans praised the empowering message and polished sound, many are upset about the song being entirely in English. Some feel TWICE is losing the bright charm that made them famous, pointing out that it just doesn’t capture the classic TWICE vibe.
The controversy began when fans noticed the track’s short length, clocking in at around two minutes. Comments flooded in as reactions rolled out on social media.
“I can’t process the English. They’re all so pretty, though. Was it their 10th anniversary? Congrats!”
“The song feels like it was made half-heartedly…”
“Is it really only 2 minutes? Come on, they could’ve at least made it 2:30."
“Ah, Korean, please.”
“The music video is cute, but the song is too short!”
The response on platforms like Twitter was swift, with users voicing their thoughts on the song’s direction.
