About the Song
《ICON》 is a bold and self-assured pop track by TWICE that celebrates identity earned through persistence, confidence, and unapologetic presence. Released in 2021 as part of the album Formula of Love: O+T=<3 under JYP Entertainment, the song frames success not as a moment, but as a position that no longer needs explanation. Composed and written by Melanie Fontana alongside Michel ‘Lindgren’ Schulz, with arrangement handled by Lindgren, the track pairs confident lyrics with a sleek, modern pop sound. Rather than seeking validation, 《ICON》 emphasizes self-worth, legacy, and unwavering confidence, presenting TWICE not as figures chasing recognition, but as artists who define it on their own terms.

i’m over the top so what
i’m just tryna give ’em all the

they know a thing like me is
