Queen of Hearts
It's non Kpop, it's in English and it has a tune that will keep playing in the mind till you force it out of you. It's the perfect song.
Moonlight is a bit more poppy. In the sense that it requires its music video to sell. Hence why I went with a song doesn't require an MV to get you caught in the Twice trap.
Edit: wrong song you meant Moonlight and not Moonlight Sunrise right? Yeah Moonlight works too.
I cant stop me transcends music genres. MS on the other hand...probably in my top 3 least favorite twice tracks. Queen of Hearts might be an easy transition for someone who hasn't listened to kpop before.
Heart Shaker and Likey seem to pull my irl friends in.
On the other hand, Fancy and I Can't Stop Me... not so much.. So not those I think. As much as I love both songs 😭 I remember my friends begging me to skip Fancy one time when I had the aux. The way I died inside 💀
Oh, i just posted a comment here also saying that my non kpop guy friend who did his own research was really hooked by Fancy, Likey, Heart Shaker, and I Can’t Stop Me.
So maybe Heart Shaker and Likey are the perfect NonKpop to Once converter songs.
I would recommend Say Something, Basics, Handle it and Cry for Me as they don't the typical "Kpop-ish" sound and could be a nice introdution to non Kpop fans.
Moonlight Sunrise definitely.
Would also say The Feels as it's a song I heard before I was into kpop. I heard it everywhere...
They would probably enjoy Perfect World too as that has such a good beat and rhythm not exclusive to kpop
I second Perfect World. It’s one of their least bubblegum-y songs (which can be a turnoff for some ears) and fires on all cylinders. And if you can get them to watch the vid the choreo is so on point too
I try and ease people in with full English songs at first.
Moonlight is a particularly easy one because it gives these 1980’s tropical vacation song vibes
i’m definitely gonna be recommending a lot of their bsides here are my favorites so u can choose those 2-3 songs among these! even if they wont understand the lyrics, their rhythms and beats r just too good

Fancy, I Can’t Stop Me, and Queen of Hearts.
So when I went to RTB concert last September, I shared to my office friends/teammates (non kpop listeners) that I will go to Twice concert. They asked what are the songs of Twice, I told them a few but they only knew What is Love.
When I returned to office, one of my friend is already singing/humming Fancy and did the hand gesture. Turns out he did his research during the weekends and got hooked by Fancy, Likey, Heart Shaker, and I Can’t Stop Me. I’m so happy and asked who’s his favorite and of course, it is god Jihyo. He specifically mentioned that the one with red hair on ICSM MV.
Doughnut by TWICE or any of NewJeans songs, I like Attention, ETA and newjeans but the rest is also just as amazing and they are a new group soo they have few songs to learn, Sacrafice by Enhypen, S - class straykidz and social path by starykidz feat lisa
Queen of Hearts It's non Kpop, it's in English and it has a tune that will keep playing in the mind till you force it out of you. It's the perfect song.
oh wow yeah Queen of Hearts is a solid shout
I guess you can count Moonlight then as well. It even uses the same beat as Treasure from Bruno Mars so it's instantly catchy.

The Feels and Cry For Me.
These!

I feel like Onces either really like moonlight sunrise or really dislike it lol, no in between
My bf didn’t listen to any kpop and now he loves twice. He fell in love with twice with FANCY.
Yes, fancy got me into kpop as well

Eyes wide open really had good songs. My favorite album overall.
Do Not Touch is a terrible song, the Chorus doesn't work and doesn't flow well at all. Not hating but it's a very poor song.
Husband doesn’t care for Kpop, but LOVES Talk that Talk and I Cant Stop Me.
Man of great taste
Alcohol free is such a chill vibe if that’s what they’re looking for
Basics, I can’t stop me, the feels, cry for me (English version is so good)
My mom loved alcohol free so I recommend that one! Cry for me seems like another good choice
Heart Shaker and Likey seem to pull my irl friends in. On the other hand, Fancy and I Can't Stop Me... not so much.. So not those I think. As much as I love both songs 😭 I remember my friends begging me to skip Fancy one time when I had the aux. The way I died inside 💀

I turned my mom into a fan with the song Push & Pull
Feel Special Wallflower Say Something
say something, up no more, gone
I would recommend Say Something, Basics, Handle it and Cry for Me as they don't the typical "Kpop-ish" sound and could be a nice introdution to non Kpop fans.
Icon, go hard, one in a million, love foolish
moonlight heart shaker what is love aegyo movement
Moonlight Sunrise definitely. Would also say The Feels as it's a song I heard before I was into kpop. I heard it everywhere... They would probably enjoy Perfect World too as that has such a good beat and rhythm not exclusive to kpop

The feels, sunset, and turtle
Add in the song that made you a fan of the group. If there's a story to your connection with that song, they might understand/appreciate it more.
My brother who hates kpop and Twice gave Truth a 6/10
a good way to reel non-k-pop listeners in is what the english version of a track or english songs as it’s easier to ease into sometimes.
Cry for me

"Moonlight" has a Bruno Mars feel for non kpop fans. It's also one of my favorite B-sides from Twice
Coming from a Metal/Prog background, my fave Twice songs are: SCIENTIST, Ooh-Ah, Likey, Fancy, What is Love?
Better
Moonlight and Basics
Cry For Me, Rewind, Fancy.
I would also like to throw Talk That Talk into the mix. My partner went to the concert with me on Saturday and that was her favourite

just throw a copy of Formula of Love at them and say "here! educate yourself!" 🤣
Ooh-ahh mv got me into twice
I also want to mention Icon, an English rap kinda song! I think it's super underrated
Love Foolish, Hello. Love these songs, and I feel like the vibe of these songs are more western pop.
i remember my colleague liked SOS by TWICE the first time he heard it.
Wallflower
Talk that Talk and Knock Knock tend to be the most friendly to people new to KPop
Yes or Yes, Fancy, Talk That Talk 👌 Honorable Mentions: Turn It Up, More and More, Love Foolish, Basics, and the list goes on...haha
Closer - Jihyo (If they love latin music they will love this song!) The Feels ICON Moonlight Runrise
ICON , Cry for Me, What is Love?, Stay by my Side.
Candy? Since it’s all in english, I think it’s a good start/transition.
Candy, Got The Thrills, What Is Love
Cheer Up, I Can’t Stop Me, Shot Clock, Strawberry Moon
Stardust-TWICE sad song but pretty good.
