NEXT PAGE

TWICE's song 'NEXT PAGE' captures the exhilarating and nerve-wracking experience of young love. The lyrics describe the protagonist's internal struggle as she tries to maintain her composure while being around someone she deeply likes. Despite practicing her reactions, her heart races, and she worries about revealing her true feelings. This tension is palpable in lines like '두근두근 대 나 들키면 어쩌나' (My heart is pounding, what if I get caught?). The song beautifully encapsulates the universal feeling of being on the edge of a new romantic chapter, unsure yet hopeful about what comes next.

The chorus, with its repetitive 'Oh oh oh oh oh oh' and 'hey hey,' emphasizes the protagonist's emotional turmoil and excitement. The lyrics '너무너무 좋아 알듯 말듯 Oh boy' (I like you so much, I almost know) reflect the uncertainty and anticipation that come with new love. The protagonist wishes for the object of her affection to understand her feelings and take the next step, as seen in '이젠 좀 보여줘 네 맘' (Now show me your heart). This plea for reciprocation and clarity is a common theme in love songs, making 'NEXT PAGE' relatable to many listeners.

The song also uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey emotions. For instance, the protagonist describes her usual state as '빨간 불' (red light) but notes that today is different, '초록 불' (green light), indicating a readiness to move forward. The '레시피' (recipe) metaphor suggests that love has a formula, and the protagonist is eager to follow it to the next stage. This blend of youthful innocence and earnest desire makes 'NEXT PAGE' a charming and heartfelt song that resonates with anyone who has experienced the thrills and anxieties of budding romance.
