CATCH IT is the second single album by South Korean girl group, Twist. It was released as a digital single on November 1, 2016, by JYL Records. The single has a double A-side, consisting of “Lie” and “Gotta Be You” as well as an electro-dance intro “Catch Me”. The lyrics were written by Mina and the music was composed by Chaeyoung, Hyerim, and additional help from Suga of BTS.
Riding off the success of their debut release back in September 2016, Lie was an overnight sensation in South Korea. Critics and the general public found the song to be extremely catchy, coining it as a ‘pop earworm with a trendy dance to match. Following the release of the song, Twist performed the song on a comeback stage at Mnet Countdown. The individual fancam of Chaeyoung performing the song went viral amongst netizens of South Korea, which boosted the impact and success of the song.
After going viral, the song topped all the real-time charts, earning another Perfect-All-Kill for the group, making it their second that year. Twist were coined as ‘monster rookies’ due to the simultaneous success of Lie and their debut releases ‘Attention’ and ‘Wow Thing’. Promotions for the single began on November 2, 2016 and ended on December 11, 2016. In total, Lie has earned a total of 8 wins, earning two triple crowns on Inkigayo and Mnet Countdown, respectively.

ERA Highlights:
This was the era that really made Twist POP!
Lie had a SUPER trendy dance ‘butt dance’ that went viral amongst netizens!
A fancam of Chaeyoung performing ‘Lie’ also went viral, skyrocketing the group’s popularity! Chaeyoung was praised for her charismatic stage presence!
Catch Me, an electro-dance and hip hop track, also went viral due to Hyerim’s viral double black-flip and split at the final dance-break!
In total, Lie earned 70 PAKS, becoming the girl group with the second most PAKS in 2016 (behind TWICE’S ‘TT’)
Sohye came up with the styling of the era, picking out a cheerleader theme for Catch Me and a seductive female Bellhop theme for Lie. Whereas Gotta Be You, had a bright and colorful theme!
Sohye also gave the girls designated colors: Purple (Mina), Cyan (Sohye), Orange (Chaeyoung), and Pink (Hyerim)
The music video for Lie gained 15 million views in 24 hours upon release! Being one of the biggest music videos to debut on youtube!
Hyerim and Sohye worked together to choreograph Catch Me!
Vocally, Mina was a BEAST this era. She had something to PROVE! She was belting all over Lie and Gotta Be You!
Lie debuted at number 5 on the Gaon Digital Chart, earning the group’s third top 5 hit. In its second week, the song rose to the summit of the chart, with over 1.5 million downloads. Lie became one of the best-performing songs in 2016, thus claiming the top spot of the Gaon Digital Chart for five consecutive weeks.
Gotta Be You shows a playful and bright side to Twist, which the public loved! They began asking for more pop and EDM tracks!
Main rappers Chaeyoung and Hyerim ate the girls UP on their rap verses in GBY! Thus the duo CHAEHYERI was born.
There’s this move in Catch Me in the final dance break where the girls move in circular unison, moving counterclockwise to symbolize the movement of a tornado or twister. With the help of background dancers, the dance gives off an illusion vibe. The idea was given by Sohye, who wanted the group to have a signature choreo to match their name. This particular move went viral and had netizens in a FRENZY.
Sohye’s creative input in this era regarding the choreography and fashion started a trend where members would receive designated colors and little symbols or shapes in their music videos or performances. (Many like to say NADOS are delusional for saying this, but the real know!)
