SCIENTIST

TWICE's song 'SCIENTIST' is a playful take on the complexities of love and the futility of trying to understand it through logic and analysis. The lyrics suggest that love is not something that can be measured or quantified like a scientific experiment. The repeated lines 'Love ain't a science, Don’t need no license' emphasize that love is a natural, spontaneous feeling that doesn't require permission or a systematic approach.

The song uses scientific and mathematical terms metaphorically to describe someone who is overthinking their approach to love. Phrases like '왜 자꾸 날 연구해' (Why do you keep studying me?) and references to Einstein and trigonometry ('Sine, cosine도 아니고') highlight the absurdity of trying to dissect emotions as if they were a problem to be solved. TWICE encourages the listener to stop analyzing and to act on their feelings instead ('Better make a move').

The playful tone of the song is further emphasized by the contrast between the serious nature of a 'genius' and the carefree attitude suggested by following one's heart ('Why so serious?'). The lyrics invite the listener to embrace the unpredictable and exciting nature of love, rather than trying to control it with logic. The song's message is clear: let go of overthinking and let your emotions lead the way in matters of the heart.
