Music and lyrics

[edit]

"This Is For" is a pop song composed by Tayla Parx, Em Walcott, Gustav Landell, Stephen McGregor and Daoud Anthony, with lyrics by Parx and Walcott. Jihyo revealed to Singles magazine that there were many candidates for the album's lead single and Twice had a lot of arguments with JYP Entertainment over the song choice. Twice fought for "This Is For" and it was ultimately chosen.[2] The song begins with an empowering message: "This is for all my ladies who don't get hyped enough/ If you've been done wrong, this is your song so turn it up."[3][1] In an interview with People, Jihyo said the song is a "message to people who really need cheering", with Nayeon adding that it "can make someone feel very positive again when they feel that their confidence is down".[1] Crystal Bell, writing for W, described "This Is For" as "brash, bouncy, and unapologetically for the girls".[4]
