Twice made a comeback on Friday, December 6 with their 14th mini-album “Strategy,” 10 months after their previous record “With YOU-th.”

As the album title suggests, the nonet sings of their “strategies” for finding and expressing love.

“It has been a while. We are returning as a full group… and we’d love to see the reaction from our fans,” said Momo via a statement from her label JYP Entertainment, adding that the title track “is the most hip among songs from us.”

The lead single features American rapper Megan Thee Stallion who came all the way to Korea to shoot the music video together.

“We had so much fun while filming since she boosted our confidence by telling us that we are the cutest and prettiest,” recalled Jeongyeon.

Aside from the title track, “Strategy” contains the songs “Kiss My Troubles Away,” “Like It Like It,” “Sweetest Obsession,” “Keeper,” “Magical,” and “Strategy” only containing the members of the K-pop girl group. One of the mini-album’s tracks, “Keeper,” was written by Dahyun.

“The success of their previous album, chart-topping Billboard 200 and selling over a million in one week, sets the bar high. But the members hope the new album will be seen as a holiday gift, a way to repay the love and support they received this year,” said Nayeon.
