About the Song
《Precious Love》 is a warm and nostalgic track by TWICE that bridges generations of K-pop through a heartfelt remake. Released in 2016 as the second track on their second mini-album PAGE TWO under JYP Entertainment, the song reinterprets 《Precious Love》, originally sung by Park Ji-yoon in 1998 and written and composed by legendary producer Park Jin-young. While preserving the original’s gentle sincerity, TWICE add their own youthful color, most notably through Chaeyoung’s newly written rap verse, which gives the remake a modern emotional texture and makes 《Precious Love》 a meaningful highlight that honors the past while firmly establishing the group’s identity.

This song is a remake of a classic 1998 hit by Park Ji-yoon, reinterpreted with TWICE’s signature bright energy. The lyrics express the deep regret of someone who realized the value of a lover only after letting them go. It depicts a sorrowful yet hopeful plea for a second chance, apologizing for past mistakes and childish pride, while confessing that her heart still belongs entirely to him.
