About the Song
《Talk That Talk》 is a confident and upbeat title track by TWICE that captures the moment when hesitation fades and honesty takes center stage, urging emotions to be expressed clearly rather than hidden behind signals and guesswork. Driven by a bright yet polished pop sound, the song emphasizes the thrill of mutual attraction and the empowerment that comes from speaking one’s heart without delay. Released in 2022, the track showcases TWICE’s signature blend of charm and maturity, pairing catchy melodies with a direct message about communication in love. It was composed and arranged by 이우민 “collapsedone” alongside 윤마치 (MRCH), with lyrics written by danke, and released under JYP Entertainment, marking another confident step in the group’s evolution toward bold, self-assured pop expression.
