About the Song
《Scandal》 is a bold and seductive pop track by TWICE that embraces tension, secrecy, and unapologetic attraction. Released in 2021 as part of the album Taste of Love under JYP Entertainment, the song plays with the thrill of crossing invisible lines and the excitement of being seen as irresistible. Composed by Kristoffer Tømmerbakke and Erik Smaaland, with lyrics written by Dahyun of TWICE and arrangement handled by Erik Smaaland and Kristoffer Tømmerbakke, the track delivers a sleek blend of confidence and restraint. Rather than hiding desire, 《Scandal》 turns it into power, allure, and a quiet sense of danger, presenting love as something that burns brighter precisely because it cannot be ignored.

The lyrics portray a reckless attraction that thrives on tension, secrecy, and heat. The connection feels thrilling and forbidden, driven by desire and the rush of crossing lines. It captures the joy of danger, where intensity replaces caution and love burns steadily, fed by temptation and the thrill of being completely undeniable.
