"Likey" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Twice, the lead single of their first full-length album Twicetagram. The song was released on October 30, 2017 by JYP Entertainment and distributed by Genie Music.

Twice's comeback with their first full-length album, along with the lead single "Likey", was officially announced on October 16, 2017. The two music video teasers for the song were uploaded online on October 28. "Likey" and its music video was released on the 30th as a digital download on various music sites.

"Likey" was composed by Black Eyed Pilseung and Jeon Gun. It was Twice's fourth collaboration with Black Eyed Pilseung, after their hit singles "Like Ooh-Ahh", "Cheer Up" and "TT".

The future electro-pop single opens with a synth-pop sound and continues with children cheering, trumpeting horns, old-school synthesizer samples throughout the track. Lyrically, it is about the agony of trying to elicit a social-media "like" from a crush. It also describes the struggle of maintaining a beautiful social media image.

The music video of "Likey" was entirely filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in early September 2017, showcasing some of the most iconic areas in the region. It was featured in CTV News Vancouver—stating that the video is expected to boost tourism of the city. Some parts of it was personally filmed by Twice leader Jihyo.

Early on in the video, Twice is seen clowning around at the Sunset Beach roller hockey rink with views of the ocean and Granville Island behind them. They also gather in a gelato shop. Backdrops for the dance routine include Gastown alley and Maple Tree Square, Alley Oop (the colourful downtown backlane between Granville Street and Seymour streets) and Stanley Park's Hallelujah Point. In the mix, it also features Gastown Steam Clock, Angel Hand-Painted Fashions store, White Rock Pier, Steveston's Marine Garage and SkyTrain while riding an old Mark I train.
