SONG MEANING

“What Is Love?” is TWICE’s bright, sugar-sparkling quest to understand romance before it actually arrives. The members imagine love the way they have seen it in movies, dramas, and books – sweet like candy, heart-racing, and capable of turning the whole world beautiful. Each line captures their youthful curiosity: Will it make my heart pound all day? Will I smile from morning to night? They keep replaying these dreamy scenes in their minds, wondering when and how their own story will begin.

Despite not having experienced true love yet, the song overflows with excitement and hope. TWICE picture themselves spotting “the one,” feeling fireworks in their chest, and maybe even bursting into happy tears. That playful anticipation is what makes the chorus so catchy. Instead of giving a concrete answer, the group invites listeners to join the adventure and discover the feeling together. “What Is Love?” becomes an upbeat reminder that the journey to love – filled with questions, daydreams, and wide-eyed wonder – can be just as magical as love itself.
