Scientist (Twice song)

It was released on November 12, 2021, by JYP Entertainment and Republic Records as the second single of the group's third Korean and overall sixth studio album, Formula of Love: O+T=<3 (2021).

[4] "Scientist" has its lyrics written by Sim Eun-jee and music composed by Anne-Marie, Melanie Fontana, Michel "Lindgren" Schulz, Tommy Brown, Steven Franks, and 72.

[7] Bailey Kanthatham of the New University acknowledged the song's "innocent approach to love", contrasting it with Twice's most recent singles, "Alcohol-Free", "Perfect World", and "The Feels".

Directed and produced by Rima Yoon and Dongju Jang of Rigend Film[14] – who previously worked with Twice on Formula of Love: O+T=<3's album trailer[15] and "Alcohol-Free"'s music video[16] – the music video is primarily set in a laboratory where the members of Twice are depicted as scientists researching about love.

[23] In the United States, the group appeared on the MTV news show Fresh Out Live on November 13 with a performance of "Scientist".
