About the Song
《Say You Love Me》 is a smooth and emotionally driven B-side recorded by TWICE, featured as the second track on their sixth extended play YES or YES, released in 2018 through JYP Entertainment. Centered on the tension of unspoken feelings, 《Say You Love Me》 captures the impatience and vulnerability that build when honesty is delayed, urging a confession before emotions fade or time runs out. With its restrained mood and emotionally focused delivery, the song highlights TWICE’s ability to convey longing and urgency through subtle expression rather than dramatic gestures.
