Girl group Twice revealed a sneak peek of the upcoming EP “Between 1&2” on Tuesday.

Twice’s label JYP Entertainment released the “Album Sneak Peek” video that has compiled a medley of all seven songs in the EP, concept photographs and behind the scenes footage for the music video.

The video used the lyric “Tell me everything in your mind” from the title track “Talk that Talk” like the video's slogan. “Talk the Talk” is composed by local composer collapsedone. He was at the helm of the group's previous hits “Knock Knock” (2017), “What is Love?” (2018) and “The Feels” (2021).

There are six more songs in the EP: “Queen of Hearts,” “Basics,” “Trouble,” “Brave,” “Gone” and “When We Were Kids.”

Chaeyoung wrote the lyrics for “Basics,” which sings about wanting to take things slow. Jihyo wrote the lyrics for “Trouble,” which sings about how two people, who are so strongly attracted to each other, enjoy the tension that surrounds them. Dahyun took part in writing the lyrics of tracks “Gone” and “When We Were Kids.”

“Queen of Hearts” is an English track that was arranged by British songwriting and record production duo LDN Noise.

Twice debuted in 2015 with the EP “The Story Begins” with the lead song “Like Ooh-Ahh.” The group became widely popular with the song “Cheer Up” (2016) and has since released hits like “TT” (2016), “Feel Special” (2019) and “Alcohol-Free” (2021). The group's members are Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu.

The upcoming EP is the first new music since all nine members renewed their contracts with their agency, JYP Entertainment, in July.

The EP drops at 1 p.m. on Aug. 26.
