Ten: The Story Goes On


Ten: The Story Goes On is the fifth Korean studio album by South Korean girl group Twice. It was released on October 10, 2025, through JYP Entertainment and Republic Records to commemorate the group's tenth anniversary since their debut in 2015. The album consists of ten tracks: the lead single, "Me+You", and nine solo tracks previously performed on the This Is For World Tour.

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. 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. 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. Short versions of these solo songs were first performed on the This Is For World Tour, which began in July 2025. 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", "Knock Knock" and "What Is Love?".
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.

Critical reception

Sofia Gomez of Clash awarded the album 8 out of 10 stars, noting that it "exhibits an evolved sound that sets up a pathway for Twice's career in 2026 and onwards". She praised the members for "find their footing and artistic sound" with their solo songs, but criticized the short duration of most of the tracks. The album appeared on Billboards list of the best K-pop albums of 2025, with Abby Webster writing that it "goes from strength to strength on its individual member tracks". Chyenne Tatum of Teen Vogue named "Me+You" as one of the 15 best K-pop music videos of 2025, saying that it "isn't afraid to show the members as they truly are: a bit quirky, very silly, and most importantly, girls who just wanna have fun."

Ten: The Story Goes On debuted at number 2 on South Korea's Circle Album Chart for the week ending October 11, 2025, selling over 260,000 copies.
