TWICE vs. MISAMO vs. solo songs · Three next listens · Quick questions
If you want a simple listening order: What is Love? → FANCY → Feel Special → I CAN’T STOP ME → The Feels. This is an editorial introduction to different sounds, not a popularity ranking or a list of TWICE’s newest releases.
Five TWICE songs to start with
These five picks are enough for a first visit. You do not need to learn all nine members before pressing play. Listen once for the chorus, then return to the details that caught your attention.
What is Love? (2018)
Playful, bright pop · The easiest all-round first pick
Listen for: Follow the question-shaped hook and the way the melody passes from one voice to another. The chorus gives you something familiar to return to while the verses introduce the group’s changing vocal colors.
Watch TWICE — What is Love? on the official YouTube upload ↗
The movie-inspired scenes make this an inviting first video. On the first watch, enjoy the story and the chorus; on a second watch, notice how a nine-member group keeps the song moving.
Next step: For another burst of cheerful pop, try Nayeon’s “POP!” below.
FANCY (2019)
Confident, colorful dance-pop · Start here if you want a sharper pop sound
Listen for: Listen to the contrast between the smooth opening and the brighter chorus. The beat stays light on its feet, so the track feels confident without losing its pop bounce.

This is a useful second stop because it widens the picture you get from “What is Love?”. Compare the delivery and the stage styling rather than trying to assign every line to a member.
Next step: If the electronic pulse grabs you, go next to “I CAN’T STOP ME”.
Feel Special (2019)
Warm, uplifting dance-pop · A good pick when you want melody with warmth
Listen for: Notice how the chorus opens up after the tighter verses. The dance beat remains present, but the vocal melody gives the song an especially reassuring feel.
Watch TWICE — Feel Special on the official YouTube upload ↗
Use the official captions, where available, if you want the words as well as the sound. The title’s feeling of being valued offers a simple point of connection without needing a long explanation of the group’s history.
Next step: If you enjoy the more measured, elegant mood, try MISAMO’s “Do not touch”.
I CAN’T STOP ME (2020)
Driving, retro-flavored synth-pop · The high-energy option
Listen for: Keep your attention on the pulsing synthesizer line and the urgent chorus. Compare that forward drive with the softer lift of “Feel Special”; both are dance songs, but they create different kinds of energy.

It is a useful choice for listeners who enjoy sleek electronic pop. After the music video, an official choreography video can help you follow the group formations more clearly.
Next step: For a solo performance with a stronger rhythmic focus, try Jihyo’s “Killin’ Me Good”.
The Feels (2021)
Bright disco-pop in English · The simplest starting point if you want English lyrics
Listen for: Listen for the bouncing bass and the quick rise into the chorus. The English lyrics make it easier for many new listeners to connect the vocal rhythm with the meaning on a first play.
Watch TWICE — The Feels on the official YouTube upload ↗
The original “The Feels” is an English-language TWICE single. It keeps the group’s bright pop personality, so it works as a doorway into the Korean-language picks here rather than a separate listening assignment.
Next step: Return to “What is Love?” and compare how the group builds a catchy chorus in a different language.

TWICE, MISAMO and solo songs: what changes?
You may see different artist names when you explore the catalog. A subunit is a smaller group drawn from the main group; a solo release puts one member’s individual music at the center.
| Name | What you are hearing |
|---|---|
| TWICE | The nine-member group. Start with the five songs above to hear the interplay between different voices. |
| MISAMO | The trio of Mina, Sana and Momo. Try “Do not touch” from the Japanese mini album Masterpiece. |
| Nayeon / Jihyo | Two solo examples in this guide. They give you more time with one voice and one performance style. These are starting points, not a complete list of TWICE solo releases. |

What to hear next: three easy branches
Pick the branch closest to the sound you enjoyed. There is no need to play all three at once.
If you liked playful TWICE: Nayeon — POP! (2022)
POP! or ABCD? Use our Nayeon solo songs guide to compare the two title tracks, choose an album and find four next songs.
The bright hook and springy rhythm make this a natural follow-up to “What is Love?”. With one singer at the center, it is easier to notice how the phrasing and small changes in delivery carry the track.
Watch Nayeon — POP! on the official YouTube upload ↗
Try this: compare the chorus with “What is Love?”. Notice what stays cheerful and what feels different when the focus moves from the group to a solo performer.
If you liked the stronger pulse: Jihyo — Killin’ Me Good (2023)
Try this after “I CAN’T STOP ME” for a change in rhythmic feel. Pay attention to the grounded groove, the more forceful vocal delivery and the way the performance follows the beat.
Watch Jihyo — Killin’ Me Good on the official YouTube upload ↗
Try this: listen for where the voice lands against the rhythm. You are comparing two kinds of momentum, rather than looking for a song that sounds exactly the same.
If you liked an elegant mood: MISAMO — Do not touch (2023)
This Japanese-language track introduces Mina, Sana and Momo as a trio. The more restrained pace, bass-led feel and art-gallery presentation offer a different setting from the bright group videos above.
Watch MISAMO — Do not touch on the official YouTube upload ↗
Try this: notice how three voices share the space. If the sound works for you, continue into Masterpiece, which includes “Marshmallow” and “Bouquet”.
Official reference: Do not touch video announcement and Masterpiece track list.
A manageable first listening session
- Play the one song that fits your taste.
- Replay it once, following the chorus or the captions you find useful.
- Choose one next step from the branch above.
- Save the two songs you want to hear again. Your own short queue is more useful than a long list you never finish.
To learn the lineup, use the members guide alongside the official profile. Hairstyles and styling change between videos, so a single era’s look is only one reference.
Quick questions from new listeners
Which TWICE song should I hear first?
Choose “What is Love?” for cheerful pop, “FANCY” for a more confident dance sound, or “The Feels” for English lyrics. The best first choice depends on what you already enjoy.
Is MISAMO a separate group with different members?
MISAMO is the Mina, Sana and Momo unit within TWICE’s wider music activities. These are three TWICE members, not three new names to learn.
Does a solo song mean Nayeon or Jihyo left TWICE?
A solo release is music under the member’s own artist name. Nayeon and Jihyo are both listed in TWICE’s official group profile at the time of this check.
Do I need Korean to enjoy these songs?
You can start with the melody, rhythm and performance. Use the uploader’s available caption options when you want more context, or begin with the original English-language “The Feels”.
