Tzuyu - abouTZU

TZUYU abouTZU is the debut solo extended play by Taiwanese singer Tzuyu of TWICE, released on September 6, 2024 through JYP Entertainment and Republic Records. Issued digitally and in multiple physical versions, the mini album marked Tzuyu’s first solo release nearly nine years after debuting with TWICE and introduced a more personal artistic direction centered around her identity and individual musical style. The title abouTZU combines the word “about” with her name, symbolizing a project that reflects different sides of herself beyond her image as TWICE’s maknae.

The EP blends dance pop, synth pop, contemporary pop and softer emotional textures that showcase Tzuyu’s delicate vocal tone and evolving artistry. Led by the title track Run Away, the project explores a more mature and expressive sound through layered melodies, atmospheric production and reflective themes that balance elegance with emotional vulnerability. Collaborations and songwriting contributions across the release further expand the album’s sonic palette while emphasizing Tzuyu’s growth as a solo performer and musician.

abouTZU received strong commercial success and widespread attention from ONCE and global K pop listeners upon release, debuting on major international charts including the US Billboard 200 and topping the Billboard World Albums chart. The project also generated significant preorder numbers and positive fan reception for presenting a new side of Tzuyu through a refined and emotionally driven concept, strengthening her individual presence within the global music scene while deepening her connection with fans worldwide.
