The album followed a busy 2024 to 2025 run: the February 2024 EP *With YOU-th*, the July 2024 Japanese album *Dive*, the December 2024 *Strategy* EP with [Megan Thee Stallion](https://www.edgepedia.org/megan-thee-stallion), and the May 2025 compilation *#Twice5*.[4](https://www.allmusic.com/artist/twice-mn0003456026) Apple Music noted it was released in the immediate aftermath of the group's successful contributions to the *KPop Demon Hunters* soundtrack.[8](https://music.apple.com/us/album/this-is-for-deluxe/1826124841)
## Music and lyrics
The standard album runs 14 tracks in 36 minutes 14 seconds, mostly in English, with five songs performed by subunits of the nine members.[7](https://open.spotify.com/album/02dUOPB3MtmV5fawzaZiq6) • [8](https://music.apple.com/us/album/this-is-for-deluxe/1826124841) The track list is: "FOUR", "THIS IS FOR", "OPTIONS", "MARS", "RIGHT HAND GIRL", "PEACH GELATO", "HI HELLO", "BATTITUDE" (Nayeon, [Jeongyeon](https://www.edgepedia.org/jeongyeon), Momo, Mina), "DAT AHH DAT OOH" (Sana, Jihyo, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu), "LET LOVE GO" (Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Tzuyu), "G.O.A.T." (Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung), "TALK" (Nayeon, Jihyo), "SEESAW", and "HEARTBREAK AVENUE".[1](https://twice.jype.com/Mobile/DiscographyView?AamSeq=155)
JYP's announcement credited a roster of international writers including Tayla Parx (known for [Ariana Grande](https://www.edgepedia.org/ariana-grande)'s "7 rings", "thank u, next", "34+35", and "pov"), Amy Allen, Julian Bunetta, John Ryan, Dem Jointz, and Baby Tate, the latter group having worked with [Sabrina Carpenter](https://www.edgepedia.org/sabrina-carpenter).[1](https://twice.jype.com/Mobile/DiscographyView?AamSeq=155) AllMusic credits the title track itself to Daoud Anthony, Gustav Landell, Stephen McGregor, Tayla Parx, and Emelie Walcott.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/album/this-is-for-mw0004531373)
**Style.** AllMusic categorizes the album as dance-pop, Asian pop, and K-pop, and describes an upbeat, swaggering dance-club mood spanning the hip-hop-infused title track, the synthy '80s dance-rock of "Mars", and the breezy, acoustic-guitar-accented "Peach Gelato".[2](https://www.allmusic.com/album/this-is-for-mw0004531373) The title track is a high-energy song with strings and harp over a funky rhythm.[11](https://www.soompi.com/article/1745674wpp/watch-twice-announces-july-comeback-with-intro-four-teaser-for-full-length-album) Its opening lines, "This is for all my ladies who don't get hyped enough / If you've been done wrong, then this your song, so turn it up," frame it as a confidence anthem; Jihyo noted that the hook is all rap.[9](https://people.com/twice-debut-fourth-album-with-hype-up-anthem-exclusive-11766923) Apple Music reads the album's themes as female empowerment and romantic frustration, navigating between K-pop's "girl crush" and "bubblegum pop" modes.[8](https://music.apple.com/us/album/this-is-for-deluxe/1826124841)
## Release and versions
The album and the title track's music video were released together on July 11, 2025 at 1 p.m. KST.[11](https://www.soompi.com/article/1745674wpp/watch-twice-announces-july-comeback-with-intro-four-teaser-for-full-length-album) AllMusic lists a digital edition, a deluxe digital edition, CD versions named CONFETTI, DIGIPACK, FOR, IS, and THIS plus [Barnes & Noble](https://www.edgepedia.org/barnes-and-noble) exclusives, and a Dragonfruit Glitter Vinyl LP, all via Imperial/JYP Entertainment/Republic.[2](https://www.allmusic.com/album/this-is-for-mw0004531373) The deluxe edition, released July 14, 2025, adds "THIS IS FOR (Extended)" (2:26) and "TAKEDOWN" (Jeongyeon, Jihyo, Chaeyoung; 3:00) as tracks 15 and 16.[10](https://www.twiceland9.com/discography/) • [3](https://mw.genie.co.kr/detail/albumInfo?axnm=86488567)
