"Heart Shaker" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Twice, the group's fourth Korean single of 2017.[2] The song was released on December 11, 2017 by JYP Entertainment and distributed by Genie Music.

Background and release

On November 27, 2017, JYP Entertainment announced the release of the Christmas-inspired reissue of Twice's first full-length album Twicetagram, titled Merry & Happy, on December 11. The title track "Heart Shaker" was revealed three days later. The song's title was previously teased on few scenes of the music video of "Likey". From December 4–11, several previews and teasers, including the song's lyrics, were released.[3][4][5] The album, along with the music video for the lead single, was officially released on December 11. It was also released as a digital download on various music sites.[6]

Composition

"Heart Shaker" is written by music production team called Galactika (별들의전쟁) and co-composed by David Amber, who also co-composed Hyoyeon's single "Mystery", and Sean Alexander, co-composer of the hit single "Lion Heart" by Girls' Generation.[8][9][10]

Tamar Herman from Billboard described the song as a "bright pop song [that] incorporates funky guitar riffs, twinkling synths, and soft harmonizing to create a vintage wintertime feel, but with an upbeat melody and impish delivery of the verses and the energetic chorus".[2] Lyrically, it captures the feelings of a girl as she courageously reach out for a confession to someone who has "shaken" her heart.[11]

Music video

A minute-long music video teaser for "Heart Shaker" was released on December 4, 2017. It features Twice in white long-sleeved T-shirts and jeans performing the chorus of the song on a set that looks like a store.[12][13] Along with the album release, full version of the heart-themed music video was uploaded online on December 11. Unlike their previous Korean singles, it is heavily dance-oriented in variety of vibrant and retro-inspired sets. It ended with doubling the members in a finale dance sequence that offers up an eighteen-member Twice through mirrored choreography.[2]

On January 22, 2018, it surpassed 100 million views, 41 days after the video was uploaded on YouTube.[14]

Promotion

On December 11, 2017, Twice had a live broadcast on Naver V Live to celebrate the album release with fans. They also unveiled the full choreography of "Heart Shaker". Three days later, the group also attended SBS Love FM's Family Concert, where they performed the song live for the first time.[15][16][17]

Twice then performed "Heart Shaker" on music programs—Music Bank, Show! Music Core and Inkigayo on December 15–17, respectively.[18][19][20]

Commercial performance

The song debuted atop Gaon's Digital Chart and Billboard Korea's Kpop Hot 100.[21][22] It also peaked at No. 2 and 4 on Billboard charts' World Digital Songs and Billboard Japan Hot 100, respectively.[23][24]
