About This Track

'Moonlight' is a full-English pop song built on the simplest romantic premise: two people alone together under the night sky. TWICE stack the imagery high, comparing their partner's presence to stars and diamonds, the lyrical equivalent of turning up the brightness on everything around them. The song moves between restraint and abundance, a verse that holds back giving way to a chorus that repeats its central hook until it becomes almost a chant. The track sits somewhere between slow-burn and immediate gratification. There's a breathy quality to the verses, space between the words, but the production swells underneath, building toward those moments when the group leans into the refrain with full voice. A rap section partway through shifts the energy, introducing a different register and a sharper rhythmic edge before the song settles back into its moonlit reverie. It's a love song that knows exactly what it wants to say and finds different ways to say it again.

"MOONLIGHT" is a track by TWICE, from the album Formula of Love: O+T=<3, released 12th November 2021. The track is 3:39 long. It's filed under K-Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about TWICE.

Lyrics

MOONLIGHT

Your eyes are glowing in the dark
Lighting the way to where you are
Ain't nothing pulling us apart
When we're together

Diamonds are everywhere, they're all that I can see
Close isn't close enough for you to be to me
I wanna be the air, be the air you breathe
Hold you forever

Ooh, all the stars above
Got nothing on you, baby
And your love is shining like the sky
But all I want tonight

You and I
Dancing in the moonlight
Kiss you when the mood's right
Baby, I don't want nobody else, but

You and I
Dancing in the moonlight
Kiss you when the mood's right
Baby, I don't want nobody else, but

You-hoo, you-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
You-hoo, you-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Summer, it never had a chance
Winter could melt inside your hands
You do it all because you can
Don't you forget it!

Ooh, all the stars above
Got nothing on you, baby
And your love is shining like the sky
But all I want tonight

You and I
Dancing in the moonlight
Kiss you when the mood's right
Baby, I don't want nobody else, but

You and I
Dancing in the moonlight
Kiss you when the mood's right
Baby, I don't want nobody else, but

You-hoo, you-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
You-hoo, you-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

You and I
Dancing in the moonlight
Kiss you when the mood's right
Baby, I don't want nobody else, but

Body on me
You know that I'm what you need
I'm your favorite recipe
Got a boss type of energy, yeah, yeah

Baby boy got my heart
Craving your love, your touch
Hope you don't mind
Tryna take a trip under the moonlight

You the one that I want
In my feels so deep, like I'm in a dream
And I don't want to wake up
And it's all because of you, I'm sprung (I'm sprung)
All I think about is you and us
You're all I want tonight

You and I
Dancing in the moonlight
Kiss you when the mood's right
Baby, I don't want nobody else, but

You and I (you and I)
Dancing in the moonlight (yeah)
Kiss you when the mood's right
Baby, I don't want nobody else, but (you)

You-hoo, you-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
You-hoo, you-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

You and I
Dancing in the moonlight
Kiss you when the mood's right
Baby, I don't want nobody else, but

You and I
