On Monday, the nine-member act released its much-anticipated first full album ”Twicetagram,” including the title track “Likey.”
”We’re very excited and nervous to come to release this album not only because it is our first studio album but we prepared a lot, including choreography, for this,” Nayeon said during a media showcase for the new album at Yes24 Live Hall in eastern Seoul.
Many of the members — Nayeon, Jungyeon, Jihyo, Dahyun and Chaeyoung — participated in the album’s production as songwriters.
“We hoped to come closer to our fans and the public with this album,” Nayeon said. “I’m very happy because we returned with new songs.”
Inspired by social media, “Twicetagram” consists of 13 songs, including “Likey,” co-composed by Black Eyed Pilseung and Jeon Gun. It is the group’s fourth work with Black Eyed Pilseung.
The name “Twicetagram” is the username of TWICE’s official Instagram account that they opened in July 2015.
“Likey” is a future electro-pop number with lyrics portraying feelings of excitement and joy one gets from the word “Like” in social media.
