The two-track Japanese single, titled “Better,” will be released on Nov. 18, according to JYP Entertainment. “Better” will comprise the lead track of the same title and “Scorpion.”

JYP said the new single was produced with the yearning of TWICE members to be able to meet with fans around the world in person.
