TWICE Releases Repackage Album 'Merry & Happy' and Title Track 'Heart Shaker' Targeting the Christmas Season! - New album 'Merry & Happy' filled with loveliness, title track 'Heart Shaker' like a Christmas gift - 'Christmas elves are coming' TWICE to continue working hard through the end of 2017! Predicting '7 consecutive popular home runs' - Repackage album and title track 'Heart Shaker' & new carol 'Merry & Happy' to be released on the 11th at 6 PM TWICE is predicting a streak of seven consecutive popular home runs with the release of their repackage album 'Merry & Happy' and the new song 'Heart Shaker.' To celebrate the release of the new repackage album 'Merry & Happy,' TWICE provided fans with a great spectacle by releasing a series of 'all-time great' teasers. They gathered significant attention by releasing a wide variety of content, starting with group and unit teaser images showcasing the members' visual concepts, followed by a parade of 27 individual member teasers, the 'Heart Shaker' music video teaser, MV behind-the-scenes, jacket shoot behind-the-scenes, and audio previews. In particular, TWICE captured many eyes by showcasing a lovely visual reminiscent of Christmas elves through the concept of this new album 'Merry & Happy.' 'Merry & Happy,' the repackage album of TWICE's first full-length album 'Twicetagram,' contains a total of 15 tracks, including the title track 'Heart Shaker,' two new songs including the carol song 'Merry & Happy' (which shares the album's name), and tracks from the first full-length album. The title track 'Heart Shaker' is a song that expresses TWICE's desire to courageously approach someone who has completely shaken their heart to make love come true. Bold yet cute lyrics such as "I'm Tzuyu" and "Here is my phone number" are impressive. 'Merry & Happy,' which garnered attention as it was revealed that JYP Entertainment head Park Jin-young wrote the lyrics, is a TWICE-style carol song that expresses the joy of spending the first Christmas while in love through a sound full of winter vibes. TWICE has been loved for their 'hard-working' activities this year, from 'KNOCK KNOCK' in February, 'SIGNAL' in May, to the title track 'Likey' from their first full-length album released on October 30. They swept the top of various online music charts and, in particular, caught 'two birds with one stone'—both digital and physical sales—by surpassing 1 million album sales this year alone. They also showed dazzling performance not only domestically but also overseas. On the 8th, TWICE once again demonstrated their influence in Japan this year by ranking 3rd in the 'Billboard JAPAN Top Artist' category, which is calculated by combining points from the song chart and the overall album chart among annual charts. Furthermore, TWICE took 6th place with 'TT' on the 'Billboard JAPAN HOT 100 of the Year 2017.' Thanks to this popularity, TWICE will appear on TV Asahi's 'Music Station Super Live 2017,' a representative Japanese year-end special program airing on the 22nd, and NHK's 'Kohaku Uta Gassen' on the 31st. In particular, by confirming their appearance on 'Kohaku Uta Gassen' as the only Korean singer to do so in six years, they raised TWICE's status in Japan. They also achieved great results on YouTube. Following the 'TT' MV surpassing 200 million views in May—a first for a K-pop female artist—the 'CHEER UP' MV in August and the 'Like OOH-AHH' MV in November also exceeded 200 million views, making them the first K-pop female group to possess three music videos with over 200 million views. On the 3rd of this month, the 'LIKEY' MV surpassed 100 million views in 33 days, 23 hours, and 43 minutes after its release, setting a record for the shortest time to reach 100 million views for a K-pop girl group, and continuing a streak of six consecutive 100-million-view videos starting from their debut song 'Like OOH-AH' to the recent 'LIKEY' MV. Furthermore, in the '2017 Most Popular Music Video Domestic Category,' which YouTube calculates based on views generated within Korea, TWICE took 1st and 2nd place with the 'KNOCK KNOCK' and 'SIGNAL' MVs. This marks their second consecutive year at the top, following last year when they took 1st and 3rd place with the 'CHEER UP' and 'TT' MVs. With 'Heart Shaker,' the title track of the repackaged album 'Merry & Happy,' TWICE is ready to wrap up 2017 brilliantly while continuing their streak of seven consecutive hits. 01. Heart Shaker Lyrics: Galactika * / Composition: David Amber, Sean Alexander / Arrangement: David Amber, AVENUE 52 This song captures TWICE's desire to courageously approach someone who has completely shaken their heart in order to make love come true. It is a song with impressive, bold lyrics such as [I'm Tzuyu], [Here is my phone number], and [You can think it's strange, but I can't help it because I've fallen for you]. 02. Merry & Happy Lyrics: J.Y. Park “The Asiansoul” / Composition: Joe Lawrence, Dawn Elektra, Sam Hocking / Arrangement: Joe Lawrence The carol “Merry & Happy,” created in TWICE's own bright and cheerful style, is a song that combines an accompaniment full of winter vibes with J.Y. Park's unique and fresh lyrics. It refreshingly and playfully expresses the small emotions felt at the end and beginning of the year, with lyrics like 'Now my Christmas is Merry. New year is Happy,' depicting the joy of spending the first Christmas while in love. It is a song that can be enjoyed throughout the winter as a Christmas gift from TWICE. 03. LIKEY Lyrics: Black Eyed Pilseung, Jeon Gun / Composition: Black Eyed Pilseung, Jeon Gun / Arrangement: Rado “TWICE,” who received much love for the new music genre called “Color Pop,” now presents a new music genre called “Future Electro Pop.” “LIKEY” is a “Future Electro Pop” dance song that is more sophisticated and incorporates more pop elements than the existing “Color Pop,” and it is a hidden track ambitiously created by producer 'Black Eyed Pilseung,' who has been with them since their debut, specifically for “TWICE.” 04. Turtle Lyrics: Jung Ho-hyun (e.one) / Composition: Jung Ho-hyun (e.one) / Arrangement: Jung Ho-hyun (e.one) This song cutely expresses the feelings felt between being friends and lovers, wittily comparing the partner—who is always serious, worries a lot, and cannot express their feelings—to a "turtle." While the lyrics are realistic and something anyone could experience, the song fits well with the innocent image of “TWICE.” 05. MISSING U Lyrics: earattack / Rap Making: Dahyun, Chaeyoung / Composition: earattack / Arrangement: earattack, Yuki This is a song with a charming minimal track and guitar sound that realistically expresses TWICE's cute desire to not break up with a loved one. The grand chorus and ad-libs from the main vocal members in the latter half capture the listener's ear. Members “Chaeyoung” and “Dahyun” participated in the rap making, and the song shows a new chemistry between “TWICE” and composer ‘earattack,’ who worked on ‘Fly’ and ‘Hard Carry’ for ‘GOT7’ and ‘DOA’ for ‘BTS.’ 06. WOW Lyrics: Mafly, Ponde, Lee Mi-so, Kako / Composition: Pop Time, Kriz / Arrangement: Pop Time A fast-tempo song with bluesy elements that expresses the feelings of girls who are so in love they don't know what to do. It is a track where you can glimpse the fresh, youthful hearts of TWICE. 07. FFW Lyrics: Kigen, ASSBRASS / Composition: Reign Write, NAOtheLAIZA / Arrangement: NAOtheLAIZA A POP song with a cute and upbeat sound that expresses the hearts of teenage girls. The highlight is the fun lyrics about turning back time to go to the future. 08. DING DONG Lyrics: Jo-ul / Composition: Risto Asikainen, Antti Hynninen / Arrangement: Antti Hynninen A song that delicately describes a situation at a 'PROM' (an American high school dance) like a teen drama. It expresses the belief that 'bells' ring in your ears when you fall in an inevitable love, delivered through TWICE's own upbeat beat and exciting melody. It was composed and arranged by Finnish writers 'Risto Asikainen' and 'Antti Hynninen,' who worked on S.E.S's 'Dreams Come True,' and songwriter 'Jo-ul,' who has collaborated on 'JELLY JELLY' and 'HOLD ME TIGHT,' participated in the lyrics, making it a song where you can fully enjoy a shy, girlish sensibility. 09. 24/7 Lyrics: Nayeon, Jihyo / Composition: Daniel Caesar, Ludwig Lindell, Cazzi Opeia / Arrangement: Caesar & Loui A bright song that members "Nayeon" and "Jihyo" participated in writing, with the theme: 'Let's push aside the tiring and difficult days that repeat the same way every day and run and play excitedly!' It is a song that will give strength to those exhausted by a boring daily routine. 10. Look at Me (날 바라바라봐) Lyrics: FRANTS, Woo Hye-rim / Composition: FRANTS, Woo Hye-rim / Arrangement: FRANTS A song in the "Future Pop" genre and an exciting dance track with cute and cheerful lyrics. The highlight is the cute lyrics about acting grumpy toward a boyfriend who likes her, even though she treats him coldly on the outside. "Hye-rim" of the JYP senior group "Wonder Girls" participated in the lyrics and composition. 11. ROLLIN' Lyrics: earattack, Yuki / Composition: earattack, Fox Stevenson / Arrangement: Fox Stevenson, earattack A cute song of worry about one's heart shaking violently, adding a message to a romantic interest who shows fickle emotions. The retro atmosphere makes you feel as if you are at a roller rink, and the cute lyrics are entertaining. This is the first K-POP debut song for the famous British DJ and producer 'Fox Stevenson.' 12. LOVE LINE Lyrics: Jeongyeon / Composition: Darren Smith, Tammy Infusino / Arrangement: Darren “Baby Dee Beats” Smith A song expressing an uncontrollable heart toward a romantic interest, where TWICE's soft vocals and shy confession are well-reflected. Member "Jeongyeon" directly participated in the lyrics, allowing you to feel "Jeongyeon's" sensibility. 13. Cheer Up! (DON'T GIVE UP) Lyrics: Chaeyoung / Composition: Chris Wahle, Thomas Harsem, Andreas Ohrn / Arrangement: Chris Wahle TWICE's rapper "Chaeyoung" wrote the lyrics, which convey the message: 'Let's have confidence and conviction in myself and love myself first.' The dainty and cute lyrics stand out. 14. Contain You Lyrics: Jung Ho-hyun (e.one), Choi Hyun-jun (e.one) / Composition: Jung Ho-hyun (e.one), Choi Hyun-jun (e.one) / Arrangement: Jung Ho-hyun (e.one), Choi Hyun-jun (e.one) This is a song where dreamy pluck sounds, electric guitar, and acoustic piano harmonize, featuring a standout arpeggio synth in the chorus. The vocals, imbued with TWICE's sensibility, blend well with lyrics that express a metaphorical confession. Rather than a confession of a new love, it expresses gratitude for a love currently in progress, containing deep meaning much like TWICE as they gradually mature. 15. Sleep Tight Good Night Lyrics: Kevin Oppa (mr.cho) / Composition: Kevin Oppa (mr.cho) / Arrangement: Kevin Oppa (mr.cho) An acoustic ballad song led by acoustic guitar performance from start to finish, this song was written for the purpose of organizing and concluding the various inspirations and emotions that "ONCE" felt while listening to this album. For "ONCE" who will end their day and go to bed while listening to [Sleep Tight Good Night] as the final track, the arrangement was kept as restrained as possible to bring out the individual vocal characteristics and even the detailed sounds of the members' breathing. It is a song that "ONCE" can listen to and empathize with through their ears and hearts to find comfort.
