because it's a bossanova style, there's not much of a buildup and the beat is fairly stable and pretty "chill". this relaxing and easy-listening vibe is a stark contrast to the typical twice title track which is very energetic and instrumental-driven, but somehow the change of pace works and it's still addicting to the ears!

Okay but i really love how jyp and twice took the risk to release this. currently, edm and what people call "noise music" is the general trend in kpop. But twice went AGAINST that trend and released a song with a completely opposite vibe, which is this chill, and slow summer bop. Its kind of like they're claiming "we don't follow trends we set them". And it's also impressive how versatile twice continue to be. I was expecting something like dtna or more and more since i couldn't imagine a summer song sounding way too different but i was completely caught off-guard with how different this sounded. It's something they have never done before. But yeah all in all, this is probably their most gorgeous mv alongside feel special.

I beg to differ. I was disappointed by this comeback, I was expecting so much more from them. The melody wasn't it, the sax lead in the chorus destroyed the whole vibe of the song, and I can't blame TWICE because of this, I can only blame the producer (JYP THAT BITCH).

The most common word people have said towards this song is "refreshing," and I couldn't agree more. This song is so chill and I might even say relaxing to listen to. It gave other members that don't usually get the spotlight a chance to shine, like Sana and Tzuyu (you should see their live performance if you really enjoyed Tzuyu's line in the chorus). But I see other people not liking this song because of that that reason since there were no high notes, like Nayeon or Jihyo not having the common adlibs.

This song is completely unexpected and if we were to go back to 2017 and if you were to tell me they would release something like Alcohol Free now I would never believe you. Their journey is truly admirable, if you look at their summer related comebacks; from the legendary Dance The Night Away, More & More and now Alcohol Free, they are nothing alike, and you can see how much they have evolved, they have really taken the whole summer concept and really turned it around, always giving something new and never going back, they're bringing a song that maybe for other companies and groups is completely off the table. I'm glad that they've become these fearless artists and how much they've grown. I'm so proud of them.

You mentioned it yourself how the simple beat highlighted their vocals more and I think that's exactly how they envisioned the track to translate, and fortunately the reception is good! Korean comments on their live stages are full of praise so I guess they succeeded. But also more than that, I feel the entire album's their next step to being a full fledged critically acclaimed group considering how good the critics/ratings were for eyes wide open - it's also their most cohesive body of work imo.

@@stefanoraz27 i personally didn't get that much summer vibe from the bsides except for one which is called first time but rather for most of the tracks, it brought me michael jackson's vibes especially that every songs were bass heavy. there's two songs though that reminded me of disco or retro music but that's just me! the thing that stuck out to me the most in the tracks is definitely the bass, i may be wrong but i think they used a lot of bass guitar! it's very funky and i personally like it ^^

Bossa nova is a Brazilian rhythm, it's something that our culture likes a lot and is proud of it, it's a calmer rhythm, the vocals are also calmer in bossa nova. I didn't fall in love with this comeback, I need to be honest, but I admire them for trying a different sound.

This is probably the TWICE title track that really fit their voices well aside from Momo (which I don't understand why they make her sing that way), and while it didn't have a really catchy part (like Shy Shy Shy or Fancy You), the whole song will just be stuck on you.

I think alot of companies are hesitant to release chill songs as leading tracks. But with twice because of their established fanbase, they can take the creative liberties to do something like this.

FYI rumour has it that Fromis_9’s We Go was one of their title track options for this comeback, the song was produced by Lee woomin(collapsedone) who’s a JYP in-house producer also the co-producer of What is Love. We Go would also make an amazing title track for TWICE but Alcohol Free is much more refreshing in terms of delivery.

Yeah, I think it does take a popular, well-established "senior" group like Twice to pull off this concept. They have greater leeway to take risks and experiment, whereas newer, less-established groups would stick to more tried-and-true genres to avoid offending people. Kudos to JYPE for willing to take risks.
