About the Song
《Truth》 captures the trembling moment right before a confession, where a racing heart clashes with the attempt to appear calm and unaffected. Sung by TWICE, the song unfolds as an inner monologue of hesitation—fixing one’s appearance, wavering back and forth, and pretending nothing is wrong—until the feelings become impossible to hide. Released in 2015 as part of their debut album THE STORY BEGINS under JYP Entertainment, the track blends youthful sincerity with emotional urgency. Written and composed by Anne Judith Wik, Nermin Harambasic, Tatiauna Matthews, Xin Xin Gao, and Jin By Jin, the lyrics move from nervous doubt to clear resolve, repeating a single, honest truth: wanting to be with someone wholeheartedly, even if it means admitting vulnerability, fear, and love all at once.

(truth)
The lyrics capture the nervous rush of wanting to confess, swinging between “should I say it?” and “I have to say it,” while trying to look calm on the outside. The speaker fumbles, overthinks, and puts on a brave face, but the truth keeps spilling through: she simply wants to be with the person she likes, fully and sincerely. Even when she feels unlike herself, she steadies her breath, leans in close, and chooses honesty—turning shaky excitement into a direct, wholehearted declaration of love.
