TWICE's 'SCIENTIST' and the uselessness of overthinking love
A K-pop track that dismisses formulas and equations when it comes to romance.
Love ain't a science
It's a pop song that knows its own premise is a bit silly, comparing romance to a lab report. But that's the point. The lyric leans into the metaphor hard to show how exhausting it is.
The phrase 'Love ain't a science' is a flat refusal. It shuts down the idea that you can solve someone with logic or data. All the talk of sine, cosine, and failure just circles back to that simple, impatient fact.
It's the central shrug. After all the research and questions, the song says you can't chart this stuff. The line just sits there, plain and final.
The way 'Why so serious?' cuts through the verses. It feels like an eye-roll set to music.
