“Likey” is part of Twice’s first full-length studio album “Twicetagram.”

Since its debut in 2015, the K-pop act has been a powerhouse on YouTube. The music video for its debut song “Like Ohh-Ahh” became the first song by a Korean girl group to surpass 200 million views, a feat it repeated with the videos for “TT” and “Cheer Up.” The group has accumulated over a billion views with its six music videos.
