About the Song
《REAL YOU》 is a reflective and emotionally grounded pop track by TWICE that focuses on honesty, vulnerability, and the quiet courage it takes to be seen as you truly are. Released in 2021 as part of the album Formula of Love: O+T=<3 under JYP Entertainment, the song steps away from surface-level attraction and looks inward, asking what remains when expectations and masks fall away. Composed by earattack, Sophia Pae, Gongdo, and MasterKey, with lyrics written by Jihyo of TWICE and arrangement by earattack and Gongdo, the track balances warm melodies with restrained sincerity. Rather than presenting love as performance, 《REAL YOU》 highlights authenticity, emotional clarity, and the strength found in choosing truth over illusion, offering a calm but confident statement about self-acceptance and genuine connection.

The lyrics demand honesty in love, rejecting performance and surface charm in favor of authenticity. They describe two people choosing to drop their masks, meeting each other with unfiltered emotions and mutual vulnerability. What defines love here is not perfection, but the courage to show the truth of who you really are.
