I really hated it at first. I thought it was really boring, even though the instrumental was hitting me hard.
I think the problem was that I let myself being brainwashed by some toxic sones with superiority complex back then . I got into kpop in 2015 and my first lovers were Twice and Taeyeon /Snsd(twice debuting and taeyeon debuting) . Sadly, I felt the rivalry between both groups and I felt between God and the devil. I enjoyed several comebacks, but at the same time I felt guilty. It was a bipolar voyage due to fandoms trying to show their "supremacy". I felt that I had to hide my love for Twice and it was pretty toxic. It was a representation of How I had let other people to control my identity.
Thanks God I realised one week or weeks after feel special how much I had always loved Twice and loved their comebacks, the love had always been stronger. I realised that I was letting a stupid hatred separate me from something that I love. And, well, listening to feel special again made me felt how special they are to meeeee(this was in 2019 ofc).
Nowadays I don't feel guilty about listening to multiple artists. I don't care if I listen to "rivals". Music is music, it was created to be enjoyed,right??? Duh.
Thank you if you listened to (read) my life experience. Twice worked out as a psychological expression of integration, power and maturity!
Feel Special is TWICE's best title track along with DTNA!!!! :')
