TWICE has officially returned with their 4th full-length album 'THIS IS FOR,' unveiling the music video for the title track of the same name. 

While "THIS IS FOR" is garnering positive reactions from fans and netizens for its catchy sound and global appeal, there has been a mixed reaction to the song being entirely in English. Others also pointed out that the track is just too short. Some fans are praising TWICE's latest track "THIS IS FOR" for its polished sound and empowering message, calling it a fresh direction for the group. However, others are expressing concern that the group may be drifting away from the bright, signature charm and identity that initially set them apart. They say that the group is losing the bright, fun energy that once defined their music, and instead seems to be following current trends rather than setting their own.

They reacted:

"I can't process the English. They're all so pretty, though. Was it their 10th anniversary? Congrats!"
"The song is good."
"Are they losing their color?"
"This doesn't feel like classic TWICE."
"Since the last album, they’ve been pulling off that international pop style well, lol. The song is pretty nice."
"The MV is super cute too."
"Wow, the song is so short, lol. Like little matchstick girls. So cute."
"Not many idols this far into their career still promote as a group more than solo. I support them.

"Is the song really only 2 minutes…?
"The song is refreshing and nice, but seriously so short."
"The song feels like it was made half-heartedly..."
"Is it really only 2 minutes? Come on, they could’ve at least made it 2:30."
"Ah, Korean, please."
"I miss their old bright and fun songs, this seems more like following trends."
"Dang, if it had Korean lyrics it would’ve been even better!!"
"The song is good, but their English pronunciation isn’t that great, so singing the whole thing in English makes it a bit less enjoyable...I think it would've been better in Korean, or at least they could’ve practiced pronunciation more and delivered it crisply... Overall, it’s good, just slightly disappointing."
"The music video is so cute. The song is good. But too short!"
