BETWEEN 1&2 is TWICE’s eleventh Korean mini album and a sucessor to their previous project, November 2021’s Formula of Love: O+T=<3. It is supported by the collapsedone-penned title track, “Talk That Talk.”
The album’s official release was confirmed on the night of July 13, 2022, only hours after JYP Entertainment announced that all nine members of the group renewed their contracts with the company, which were due to expire in fall of the same year. Later on, it was revealed that three members of TWICE, leader JIHYO and rappers DAHYUN and CHAEYOUNG took part in writing lyrics for over four songs on the extended play.
There are total seven tracks in this album, and all tracks sound different from each other. We are exploring different genres such as pop, dance, ballad, and rock, so you can expect a variety of styles in this album. We have incorporated retro vibes into the album, since one of the concepts of the album is Y2K. The tracks that embody the retro concept the most are “Talk that Talk” and “Brave.” Even though the styles are different, the tracks are connected under the theme of “the conversation between ONCE and TWICE,” like how the album title BETWEEN 1&2 implies.
