Talkin' About It (feat. 24kGoldn)

JIHYO of TWICE, featuring 24kGoldn, delivers a powerful anthem in 'Talkin' About It,' a song that delves into the pressures and exhilarations of living in the public eye. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the constant scrutiny and attention that comes with fame. JIHYO expresses the overwhelming nature of this attention, describing how life feels like a relentless pursuit of a 'clean slate' amidst the 'bright lights' and the prying eyes of everyone around them. Despite the chaos, there's a sense of pride and uniqueness, as she acknowledges that their rare connection and presence are something that won't happen twice.

The chorus emphasizes the inevitability of being the center of attention, with JIHYO and 24kGoldn accepting that they will always be the subject of conversation. The repetition of 'talk about' and 'talkin' about it' underscores the constant chatter surrounding their lives. However, there's a defiant tone as they assert their control over the narrative, suggesting that while people may talk, they remain in control of their own story. This theme of control is further highlighted in the lines 'I'm still the one who's in control,' reinforcing their agency amidst the noise.

24kGoldn's verse adds another layer to the song, bringing in elements of luxury and escapism. He talks about the pressures of maintaining a public image and the desire to escape with a loved one, away from the prying eyes. The references to specific locations like Seoul and Cheongdam-dong, along with mentions of high-end fashion, paint a picture of a glamorous yet challenging lifestyle. The collaboration between JIHYO and 24kGoldn creates a dynamic narrative that captures the essence of living under the spotlight, balancing the thrill of fame with the desire for genuine connection and control over one's life.
