The FeelsTwice

As the pinnacle of traditional girl groups, TWICE is a K-pop girl group that continues to draw worldwide attention.

If you use TikTok or YouTube Shorts, there’s hardly a day you don’t hear their songs, right? Among their works, the one I especially recommend is The Feels.

While highlighting their cuteness, the track as a whole has a cool vibe, and the hook delivers a funky finish that evokes the musical style of the 1970s.
