Someone Like Me

The song Someone Like Me by TWICE is the last one on their fourth mini-album, Signal. The song explores the theme of wanting to show someone you love them but feeling that words and numbers can't fully convey how you really feel. The song's lyrics express a desire to be recognized and appreciated for one's special qualities, even though it may be difficult to communicate those qualities in a traditional way.

The chorus in particular emphasizes the idea that, despite being a unique person who is difficult to find or understand, the singer still has hope for acceptance and love for who they really are. The complexity of human emotions and the need for real connection and appreciation are explored in Someone Like Me.

Like a Fool

The sixth and last song on TWICE's first mini-album, The Story Begins, is titled Like a Fool. The topic of unrequited love and the difficulties in expressing one's emotions are explored in the song. The song's lyrics portray a person who is deeply in love with someone, but the feelings are not shared. When it comes to confessing their love, this person struggles with hesitancy and anxiety because they worry about being rejected and then regretting it.

They can't help but hold onto these unrequited feelings even though they feel foolish for doing so because their love is sincere. The group gets to show off their vocal abilities in Like a Fool, with Jeongyeon receiving particular recognition for her performance. A brief rap segment there enhances the song perfectly.

One In A Million
