Music / Twicetagram

Me likey, me likey likey likey

Twicetagram is the first full album by K-pop girl group TWICE, released on October 30, 2017.

Released seven weeks after Twice was officially dubbed the "nation's girl group," this album marked the peak of their mainstream popularity in Korea. Though the album didn't make the Billboard 200, it still marked a point of Twice gaining a noticeable Western audience as it topped the World Albums chart while "Likey" topped the World Digital Song Sales chart.

Twicetagram is also notable for being the only Korean full album^note (one of two overall, the other being the 2018 Japanese album BDZ) of the group's bubblegum era, as all previous releases were mini-albums and reissues, as well as debut Japanese single "One More Time", which later appeared on BDZ. Twicetagram itself was reissued as Merry & Happy in December 2017 with two additional songs, "Heart Shaker" and "Merry and Happy".

Although "Likey" was the only single off the main album, "Look At Me" went viral as a TikTok dance challenge in 2024.

T T T Trope on the floor:

• Album Closure: Acoustic ballad "Jaljayo Good Night" is the longest song and has an instrumental outro.
• Christmas Songs: "Merry and Happy"
  "Thank you Santa Claus"
• Early-Installment Weirdness: Downplayed in that the "early" part is only relative to how long the group has been active^note at the time of the album's release, the group had been active for two years and had already released four mini-albums; the group has now been active for much more than that, and their discography has more than doubled since the release of their last bubblegum comeback, 2018's Yes or Yes EP, but the only Korean full-length of Twice's "cute concepts" years features a lot more aegyo than usual - especially from Sana, Momo, and Chaeyoung - and barely sounds like the same group that would later make Eyes Wide Open and Formula of Love.
• Face on the Cover: A photo of the nine members sitting in a park, presumably taken on the set of the "Likey" video due to their clothes being the same.
• Go-to-Sleep Ending: "Jaljayo Good Night" is a musical equivalent of this.
• Gratuitous English: Still present as usual, but in noticeably smaller amounts on this album, with some songs ("Turtle", "Don't Give Up", "You In My Heart") being roughly 99% Korean.
• "I Want" Song: "Likey" is about wanting to maintain a superficial image on social media.
  "In that small screen
  I want to look the prettiest
  But I’m still hiding these feelings in my heart"
  (English translation)
• Longest Song Goes Last: "Jaljayo Good Night" is one of the few Twice songs to exceed four minutes in length due in part to its instrumental outro.
• Portmanteau: TWICE + Instagram = Twicetagram. In fact, it's also the name of Twice's official Instagram account.
• Self-Referential Track Placement: Partial credit goes to "24/7", the seventh track.
• Self-Titled Album: Twicetagram
• Spelling Song: "FFW"
  "F-A-S-T F-O-R-W-A-R-D"
• Spoken Word in Music: Provided by Sana near the end of "Jaljayo Good Night"
• Title Track: "Merry and Happy". However, in the world of K-pop, the phrase "title track" has a different meaning than what is described in the trope page, instead meaning the main single released simultaneously with the album. This means that in a K-pop context, the title track from Merry & Happy is "Heart Shaker" (though both songs have music videos).
• Truck Driver's Gear Change: "Missing U" raises its pitch shortly after the rap part.
