TEN: The Story Goes On

Album ∙ K-Pop ∙ 2025

TWICE

A decade after their debut into the K-pop scene, girl group TWICE celebrated their resilience with TEN: The Story Goes On. While the 10-track album is mostly composed of solo tracks from the JYP Entertainment group’s nine members (Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu), it is tied together by lead single “ME+YOU,” a sentimental, ’90s-R&B-influenced track that expresses deep gratitude to their global fandom.

TWICE is known for bubblegum pop, but TEN: The Story Goes On’s solo songs demonstrate the ways in which the group has increasingly reached beyond that style. In Jeongyeon’s “FIX A DRINK,” the singer embraces country music to nurse a broken heart, while Chaeyoung’s “IN MY ROOM” uses dreamy UK garage to rhapsodize the freedom of being in one’s own personal space. Dahyun’s “CHESS” samples Beethoven’s “Für Elise” for its story of learned manipulation.

KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack scribe EJAE has credits on Jihyo’s “ATM,” an R&B-influenced track about the idol’s addictive charisma, while Mina and Tzuyu are demanding more from lovers on “STONE COLD” and “DIVE IN,” respectively. Momo’s “MOVE LIKE THAAT” and Sana’s “DECAFFEINATED” stay in the moment in their dual explorations of hypnotic attraction, while the confident sensuality expressed on Nayeon’s “MEEEEEE” is more reflective in nature.
