Did TWICE’s song come out? Is “Cry For Me” out? I saw their first stage at MAMA. I was asked [to work on the lyrics] but I was so busy with promoting at the time that I couldn’t. Isn’t “Cry For Me” really good? I love it.
Oh, it hasn’t been officially release yet? I see. The song is so good though.
