About the Song
《알고 싶지 않아 (REWIND)》 is a restrained and emotionally conflicted track by TWICE that captures the moment when love begins to unravel, yet the heart refuses to face the truth. Released in 2021 as part of the album Formula of Love: O+T=<3 under JYP Entertainment, the song centers on denial as a form of self-protection, choosing not to rewind the past even when the ending feels inevitable. Written and composed by 정호현(e.one), the track pairs subtle melodies with controlled emotion, allowing silence and hesitation to speak just as loudly as words. Rather than confronting pain head-on, 《알고 싶지 않아 (REWIND)》 emphasizes avoidance, fragile hope, and the quiet fear of confirmation, portraying love at the point where not knowing feels safer than accepting what’s already slipping away.

The song captures the quiet refusal to look back after a breakup, choosing distance over answers. It reflects the conflict between lingering memories and the desire to move forward without reopening wounds. By repeating the choice of not knowing, the lyrics express denial, self-preservation, and the fragile resolve to protect one’s present from the pain of the past.
