“BDZ,” which stands for “bulldozer,” is about moving forward and pushing away obstacles like a bulldozer. The group members transformed into warriors in the music video released on the same day.

The song was written by JYP Entertainment executive Park Jin-young. He said, “I am always moved by ONCE’s (Twice’s official fandom) energy at every Twice concert. ‘BDZ’ is a song for fans and Twice to sing and enjoy together.”

Along with the release of its first Japanese album, Twice will tour the country from Sept. 29 until Oct. 17, visiting Chiba, Aichi, Kobe and Tokyo.
