Closing “Ruby” on a touching note, “Twin” is Jennie’s most personal track, which reflects on a past relationship. The delicate acoustic guitar, with a slight touch of the countryside, contrasts with the usual K-pop sound, while its raw and intimate voices make it one of its most felt performances. Described as a letter to an old friend, the tenderness and vulnerability of the song offer a look at his emotions.

Jennie “Twin” texts
[Verse 1]It's like I'm writing a letter
And I put in a twelve-ounce bottle of Heineken
In the Atlantic on a whim
'Cause I know I've been gone too long
But I'm writing a song[Refrain]It's like I'm writing a letter, but I'm writing a song
It's like I'm writing a letter, but I'm writing a song
It's like I'm writing a letter, but I'm writing a song[Verse 2]Can you just bear with me? We were ten years in
And young and dumb and innocent, my friend
But I knew all along that we were both wrong[Refrain]It's like I'm writing a letter, but I'm writing a song
It's like I'm writing a letter, but I'm writing a song
It's like I'm writing a letter, but I'm writing a song[Pre-Chorus]I didn't leave ya, I still see ya
When I'm bumping Ashanti, yeah, on a beach, yeah
I didn't hold ya, but I still know ya
We will make up, make things right when we get older, friendYou might also like

JENNIE[Chorus]Twin, twin, twin
You and I, we drifted apart
Twin, twin, twin
Like the white clouds under the stars[Verse 3]Do you feel a way
I blamed the timing? Wasn't timing
We was fighting and colliding, man
I just couldn't stay
And I keep your name so, so, so tightly to my heartbeat
Guess I lost you and you lost me, but I put fuel to your flame[Pre-Chorus]I didn't leave ya, I still see ya
When I'm bumping Ashanti, yeah, on a beach, yeah
I didn't hold ya, but I still know ya
We will make up, make things right when we get older, friend[Chorus]Twin, twin, twin
You and I, we drifted apart
Twin, twin, twin
Like the white clouds under the stars[Outro]Twin, twin, twin
You and I, we drifted apart
Twin, twin, twin
Jennie “twin” meaning
Jennie describes “Twin” like Ruby’s most personal track, closing the album with a melancholy reflection on a past relationship. In an interview with Zane Lowe, she revealed that writing the song gave her a sense of closure, allowing her to develop her emotions and express feelings she had kept inside. The song takes place as a feeling letter, addressing someone with whom he once shared a profound bond, expressing both nostalgia and regrets. Although he recognized the distance that grew between them, he deals with the hope that over time he can reconnect and make things right.
Fans hypothesized that the song was inspired by his long-standing friendship with Cha-Hee, a former melody day member. According to reports, the two have separated in recent years. This theory attracted further attention when a comment of the fans who suggests that “Twin” was written about her.
However, some Netizen believe that the song could refer to Jennie’s past relationship with V (BTS). They speculate that it subtly recognized their break. The speculation is fed by their corresponding past clothes and voices of appointments, which have been widely discussed online. Since Ruby has been written in the last two years, timing has led some to draw connections between “Twin” and Jennie’s reported by division with V. Despite all speculations, neither Jennie nor V have never confirmed or denied the relationship, leaving room for infinite theories.
Many fans believe that these voices should not obscure music itself, underlining that the creative work of an artist and personal life should remain separated.
