[Intro: Nayeon, Sana]
Oh, yeah
I guarantee I got ya

[Verse 1: Jihyo, Dahyun]
I've been craving for your love
Can't see nobody but us (Can't see nobody but us)
So I, so I, so I
See you from across the room
Make my way over to you
(My way over to you)
I'm trippin' over butterflies

[Refrain: Nayeon, Mina]
Oh, yeah
Baby, I don't really mean to rush
But I'ma really need your touch
If I'ma make it through the night
I got the moonlight
Tequila sunrise
Uh, come take a shot on me, I got ya


[Pre-Chorus: Jeongyeon, Tzuyu]
I don't know how to say this
I hope this song's on your playlist
This feeling's so hard to explain
I don't even know how to talk right now
It's "I need you" o'clock right now
I want you to hear me say

[Chorus: Sana, Jihyo, Momo, Dahyun]
Moonlight sunrise
Baby, come be my starlight
Moonlight sunrise
Oh, baby, just to make you stay
Moonlight sunrise
Baby, let's do it all night
Moonlight sunrise
I guarantee I got ya


[Verse 2: Chaeyoung, Momo, Sana]
Loving undefeated, on your knees pleading
Baby, you can hit up my line when you need it
Said that you tried? Baby, you succeeded
Got a craving, baby, can you feed it?
Took a trip under moonlight
Follow me to the sunrise
Everyday, every night

Ayy, come with me, don't think twice

[Refrain: Mina, Nayeon]
Oh, yeah (Oh, yeah)
Baby, I don't really mean to rush
But I'ma really need your touch
If I'ma make it through the night
I got the moonlight
Tequila sunrise
Ha, come take a shot on me, I got ya

[Pre-Chorus: Chaeyoung, Jeongyeon]
I don't know how to say this
I hope this song's on your playlist
This feeling's so hard to explain
I don't even know how to talk right now
It's "I need you" o'clock right now
I want you to hear me say


[Chorus: Tzuyu, Nayeon, Mina, Chaeyoung]
Moonlight sunrise
Baby, come be my starlight
Moonlight sunrise
Oh, baby, just to make you stay
Moonlight sunrise
Baby, let's do it all night
Moonlight sunrise
I guarantee I got ya


[Bridge: Jihyo, Sana, Momo]
Cards out on the table, what you say?
I need you, you need me, you're mine
I'm your moonlight, you're my sunrise, babe
I guarantee I got ya

[Chorus: Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Jihyo, Chaeyoung]
Moonlight sunrise (Oh)
Baby, come be my starlight (Oh, yeah)
Moonlight sunrise
Oh, baby, just to make you stay (Oh, yeah)
Moonlight sunrise
Baby, let's do it all night (Baby, let's do it all night)
Moonlight sunrise (Oh, yeah)
I guarantee I got ya (Oh-oh)
[Chorus: Tzuyu, Dahyun, Mina, Sana, *Nayeon*, *Jihyo*]
Moonlight sunrise
Baby, come be my starlight (*Ah-ah-ah*)
Moonlight sunrise (*Ooh-ooh*)
I guarantee I got ya (*Moonlight sunrise*)
Moonlight sunrise (*Moonlight*)
Baby, let's do it all night (*Sunrise*)
Moonlight sunrise (*Oh, yeah, yeah*)
I guarantee I got ya (*I guarantee I got ya*)

[Outro: Jihyo]

Genius Annotation

TWICE comes back better than ever with the pre-release single, “MOONLIGHT SUNRISE.” The song introduces their March 2023 album, READY TO BE.

In “MOONLIGHT SUNRISE,” TWICE takes a new turn with a fusion of synth and Miami bass to create a majestic feel for the song. In the song’s lyrics, the girls admit their strong and clingy feelings for their partner. Originally, the song was inspired by one of TWICE’s recent tour experiences in L.A.

For the songs music video, the girls are in mystical-yet-vintage scenery where they’re followed by a group of colorful butterflies along each scene. Surprisingly, each butterfly in each scene gives a hint to each of the members where the secret key to their heart lock is.

What is the inspiration for this song?
Genius Answer

The inspiration came from the last tour [date] we had in L.A. During the tour, we had performed under the moonlight and we were dancing, and the composer for this song was there. He found our performance so beautiful, so that was what the inspiration of this song. […] I hope that the song can remind our fans of that beautiful night that we had together.
