Twicetagram is the debut studio album by South Korean girl group Twice. It was released on October 30, 2017, by JYP Entertainment and distributed through Genie Music. The title Twicetagram refers to their official Instagram account of the same name.
The group's first full-length album features a total of 13 tracks, supported by its lead single "Likey" which was composed by Black Eyed Pilseung and Jeon Gun, marking the group's fourth collaboration with Black Eyed Pilseung. Several composers and songwriters participated in the album's production, including the Korean members of Twice as lyricists, and former Wonder Girls' member Hyerim who co-wrote and co-composed the eighth track titled "Look at Me".
The album received positive reception from several critics, and was also a commercial success for the group, reaching sales of over 320,000 copies and becoming the best-selling Korean girl group album in 2017. With the album and its lead single both debuting atop the Billboard World Albums and World Digital Song Sales charts respectively, Twice became the first female K-pop act to simultaneously top both charts. A reissue of Twicetagram, titled Merry & Happy, was released on December 11, 2017.

"Turtle" is a track employing acoustic-pop for its sonic base, and is described as being "modeled to sound like a fandom-dedicated track". It lyrically describes the romantic concerns between two people, wherein the person who is unable to express their feelings towards the other is compared to a turtle. Members Dahyun and Chaeyoung wrote the rap for the song "Missing U", which notably employed the use of a guitar. It was also composed by Earattack, who had previously worked with groups including Got7 and BTS. "Wow" is produced by Pop Time who is notable for working with Block B and Zico, and is described as an uptempo track that has a jazz base while being infused with a dance beat. "FFW" is a pop song lyrically describing a girl's wish to turn the time and go to the future for their love interest. "Ding Dong" lyrically depicts a high school prom setting, with the subject expressing their belief that a bell rings in the ear when falling in love. "24/7" was jointly written by Nayeon and Jihyo, and lyrically talks about seeking excitement in the middle of a 'boring' and repetitive lifestyle.{{Cite web |title=Me "LIKEY LIKEY" TWICE's Twicetagram |url=http://www.thekrazemagazine.com/latest-updates/2017/10/31/me-likey-likey-twices-twicetagram |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171119191354/http://www.thekrazemagazine.com/latest-updates/2017/10/31/me-likey-likey-twices-twicetagram |archive-date=November 19, 2017 |access-date=March 10, 2021 |website=The Kraze |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=Twicetagram - Album Details |url=https://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=10107114 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210316152944/https://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=10107114 |archive-date=March 16, 2021 |access-date=March 10, 2021 |website=Melon }}

Writer Brianda Flores writes that the material shows "how much [Twice] improved from their first works".{{Cite web |date=December 18, 2017 |title=Top 10 Best K-Pop Albums of 2017 |url=http://culture.affinitymagazine.us/top-10-best-k-pop-albums-of-2017/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190108101040/http://culture.affinitymagazine.us/top-10-best-k-pop-albums-of-2017/ |archive-date=January 8, 2019 |access-date=March 10, 2021 |website=Affinity Magazine |language=en-US}} The Kraze magazine left a positive review for the album, giving it a rating of 9 out of 10 points, praising the production work and variety of genres featured in the material, citing the lead single "Likey" and the B-sides "Turtle", "Wow", and "Look At Me" to be the album's highlights.
Writing for IZM, critic Jo Hae-ram gave Twicetagram a rating of 3 out of 5 points, comparing the album to "having a bite of fresh fruit". The material was described to be a "fairly solid musical perfection", stating the album to be a clever work that manages to accurately focus on Twice's unique colors, but finding the group's 'immature' expressiveness as a regret. Jo cited the songs "Likey", "Turtle", "24/7", "Love Line", and "You in My Heart" to be the album's highlights, praising their production and composition, but having a mixed review for the track "Rollin", calling it to be 'awkward'.{{Cite web |title=Twicetagram Album Review - IZM |url=http://www.izm.co.kr/contentRead.asp?idx=28893&bigcateidx=1&subcateidx=3&view_tp=1 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200202090614/http://izm.co.kr/contentRead.asp?idx=28893&bigcateidx=1&subcateidx=3&view_tp=1 |archive-date=February 2, 2020 |access-date=March 10, 2021 |website=IZM}}
