The first Blitz piece was Twice, and the 10th Blitz is Twice. Time is a flat circle. Twice might also be a flat circle, as "Likey" gives a lot of "TT" vibes, plus both were released in late October. Good news is that "Likey" is much better than the two title tracks before it. Bad news is that it's still not as good as "Cheer Up" or "TT." The song itself is good, but I continue to lament heavy inflections in Twice (and JYP artists') music. Thankfully they aren't as severe this time around. While that hook is catchy, the linguist in me absolutely despises it because "me likey" is something a toddler would say. Then again, better than the hook from "Signal" so beggars can't be choosers. The most exciting part of the song is the bridge, where Nayeon leads into a surprisingly great (and fun!) rap break from Dahyun and Chaeyoung. This rap is better than anything they've shown so far, and the Dahyun dab was very cute. Thought it was odd during the first chorus where only half the group was doing the dance. It appears that this was only for the MV but weird nonetheless. Maybe due to space constraints? But then why film in an alley. You have another stereotypical MV but there is nice editing thrown in, as some of the transitions are really clean. Mina is stunning and I'm glad to see Chaeyoung grow her hair out. Lastly, Momo's hips continue to not lie.
