About the Song
《Twins (Knock Out)》 introduces SUPER JUNIOR with an aggressive and confrontational energy that defined the group’s original concept at debut. Released in 2005 as the title track of their first album Super Junior05 under SM Entertainment, the song leans heavily into hip-hop–driven intensity, sharp rhythms, and a defiant attitude that contrasts strongly with the group’s later melodic image. Written and composed by Yoo Young-jin, 《Twins (Knock Out)》 frames identity and survival as a battle, emphasizing strength, resistance, and self-assertion while positioning SUPER JUNIOR as a performance-focused group from the very start of their career.

No, it’s not like that. She’s the only one. The unseen shadow in my heart traps me once again in the darkness of a loser.

Since childhood, I felt like I didn’t exist
I’ve never received attention even once

I decided to settle for that kind of life
