TWICE has released the concept film for their upcoming song "Cry For Me."
On Dec. 14 at midnight KST, JYP Entertainment uploaded the teaser video for "Cry For Me" through the company's official YouTube channel. The clip lasts for 36 seconds and shows a glimpse of what the concept will be for TWICE's upcoming track.
The concept film for TWICE's "Cry For Me" started with a scene featuring a female, who is presumed to be Nayeon, walking toward a room. Elements such as dried branches with thorns and a red room filled with candles can be noticed in the clip, which create a more unique and subtle mood.
The next parts of the teaser video highlighted the members, starting with Nayeon, Dahyun, Jihyo, Sana, Mina, Tzuyu, Momo, and Chaeyoung. Toward the end of the clip, lines from "Cry For Me" can be heard as background music. Jeongyeon was unable to take part in the filming of the concept film as she is currently taking a break due to health issues.

JYP Entertainment's very own producer J.Y. Park and famed South Korean singer-songwriter, Heize, were the ones who wrote the lyrics of TWICE's "Cry For Me."
