Twicetagram is the first studio album by South Korean girl group Twice. It was released digitally and physically on October 30, 2017 by JYP Entertainment and distributed through Genie Music. The title Twicetagram is in reference to their official Instagram account of the same name.
The title track "Likey", a future electro-pop single, was composed by Black Eyed Pilseung and Jeon Gun. It is the group's fourth collaboration with Black Eyed Pilseung. Several composers and songwriters participated in the album including the Korean members of Twice as lyricists and former Wonder Girls' member Hyerim who co-composed the eighth track titled "Look at Me".
It was revealed in early September 2017 that Twice filmed a new music video in Vancouver, Canada. On September 25, JYP Entertainment confirmed that the group would be releasing a new Korean album in late October though the exact date was still undecided. On October 15, a surprise trailer for the upcoming album was shown to fans during the second day of the group's two-day fan meeting—a commemoration of the two year anniversary of their debut. It was officially announced the next day that the comeback was scheduled to be released on October 30 with Twice's first full-length album named Twicetagram, a social-media-inspired album, and its title track titled "Likey". The first group image teaser was uploaded online four days later.
Twicetagram contains thirteen tracks including songs written by some members of Twice. A sneak peek of two songs from the album titled "Turtle" and "You in My Heart", along with member Sana's narration part in "Jaljayo Good Night", were first unveiled on October 20.
The album, along with the music video for the lead single, was officially released on October 30. It was also released as a digital download on various music sites.
On October 10, 2017, it was announced that Twice would film an episode of Weekly Idol as start of their full scale activities for the album.
Prior to the release of Twicetagram, Twice held a media showcase for the album at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul. It was then followed by a live showcase broadcast through Naver V Live, two hours after dropping the album online, where they performed "Likey" and "Turtle" for the first time, as well as hit songs from their previous albums including "Cheer Up", "TT", "Knock Knock" and more.
