TWICE have released the music video for ‘Alcohol-Free’, the title track off their upcoming tenth mini-album ‘Taste of Love’.
In the clip, the K-pop girl group celebrate the summer season by throwing a beach party, complete with delicious-looking cocktails and a beautiful sunset. Meanwhile, the group are dressed in colourful tropical dresses and flower hairpieces as they perform the track’s choreography in what looks like a marketplace.
“I am alcohol-free but I get drunk / Though I did not drink at all / It happens whenever I’m with you / Because of the way you look at me,” the girl group sings in the chorus, laced with a tropical beat.
‘Alcohol-Free’ is written and composed by JYP Entertainment head J.Y. Park and is now available on all streaming platforms as a single. The mini-album ‘Taste Of Love’ will be released in its entirety on June 11.
Other songs included on ‘Taste Of Love’ include ‘First Time’, which was notably co-composed by Little Mix‘s Jade Thirlwall, as well as an English version of the previously released single ‘Cry For Me’.

News of TWICE’s comeback comes as no surprise to fans as the girl group were previously spotted filming a music video on Jeju Island. JYP Entertainment subsequently confirmed that the group were preparing to return with new music, although no release date was announced at the time.
‘Taste Of Love’ will also reportedly feature all nine members of TWICE, including singer Jeongyeon, who had gone on hiatus during the promotion period of the group’s sophomore album ‘Eyes Wide Open’ and single ‘Cry For Me’ last year.
