Release and promotion

On September 19, 2025, JYP Entertainment announced that Twice would release a special album on October 10 to celebrate their tenth anniversary. A prologue film was released the next day, featuring the group participating in a talent show themed around the number ten, in the style of a sitcom. [1] [2] [3] On September 21, the album's digital cover was revealed, featuring Twice in the same poses as the group concept photos for their debut EP The Story Begins (2015). [4] On September 29, the album's track list was released through a teaser video, confirming the inclusion of a single titled "Me+You" and a solo track for each member of the group. [5] [6] Short versions of these solo songs were first performed on the This Is For World Tour, which began in July 2025. [7] The album was released on October 10 with an accompanying music video for "Me+You". The music video features actor Uhm Tae-goo and references the music videos for Twice's singles "Like Ooh-Ahh" (2015), "Knock Knock" (2017) and "What Is Love?" (2018). [8] [9]

Twice did not promote "Me+You" on any South Korean music programs. They performed the song for the first time at their tenth anniversary fan meeting, titled "10ve Universe", held at Korea University's Hwajeong Gymnasium on October 18, 2025. [10]
