AbouTzu is available now
Tzuyu, of the critically acclaimed K-Pop powerhouse Twice, released her debut solo EP abouTzu via JYP Entertainment/Imperial/Republic Records on all digital and streaming platforms.
This release marks Tzuyu’s debut solo album and reveals the true side of Tzuyu, showcasing various aspects of her personality. As the youngest member of Twice, Tzuyu, who once conveyed a shy and lovable presence, is now set to reveal her inner strength and diverse emotions. Through this EP, Tzuyu showcases her undeniable sparkle and unmistakable talent.
abouTzu contains contributions from many prominent artists and hitmakers such as hip-hop duo Flyana Boss, producer Tre Jean-Marie and Kamille who has worked with the world-famous group Little Mix. The focus track “Run Away,” was written by J.Y. Park, and was composed by leading musicians including Johnny Simpson, who has worked with the likes of Lauv, OneRepublic, and Max. The song was also released with a captivating music video. The final track of the album, “Fly,” features lyrics solely written by Tzuyu, demonstrating not only her talent as a vocalist but a songwriter as well. The album also features a collaboration with Peniel from BTOB who appears on the album’s second track, “Heartbreak in Heaven,” and a collaboration with rapper pH-1 who appears on the third track, “Lazy Baby.”
This solo release follows a momentous start to 2024 for Twice. In February, Twice released their 13th mini album, With YOU-th, which entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 1 upon release. The placement marked a major milestone for the group, as it was Twice’s first No. 1 album since their debut in 2015 and extended their record for the most top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 for a female K-pop act, now totaling five. With YOU-th also solidified Twice as achieving the most pure album sales of all K-pop girl groups. The critically acclaimed mini album also secured the No. 1 spots on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and World Albums chart – the group’s fourth and sixth No. 1 placements on these charts, respectively. The following month, Twice headed to Las Vegas for a sold-out, one-night-only encore performance of their 5th World Tour Ready to Be in the United States – Ready To Be Once More – at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.
