About the Song
《Trouble》 is a bold and self-aware track by TWICE that embraces inner conflict as a form of strength rather than weakness, presenting emotional instability as something honest and unapologetic. Built on a sleek, groove-driven sound, the song explores the tension between desire and restraint, where attraction feels dangerous yet irresistible, and self-control is constantly tested. Featured on the album Formula of Love: O+T=<3, released in 2021 under JYP Entertainment, 《Trouble》 was co-composed by Jihyo of TWICE alongside earattack, chAN’s, Justin Reinstein, JJean, and DARM, with lyrics written by Jihyo and arrangement handled by earattack, chAN’s, and DARM. Rather than avoiding emotional chaos, the song leans into it, capturing the thrill of knowing something may be messy, risky, or unstable, yet choosing it anyway, marking a confident and mature expression of TWICE’s evolving musical identity.

This song captures the thrill of crossing a line you know is dangerous but choosing it anyway, where attraction feels risky yet impossible to resist. It describes being pulled into a connection that feels intense and unstable, like walking a tightrope with no way back. The lyrics embrace the tension between desire and self-control, turning emotional chaos into something exciting rather than fearful. Instead of escaping the danger, the song leans into it, celebrating the rush of falling deeper and accepting the risk as part of the attraction, framing trouble itself as something irresistible.
