"Alcohol-Free" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Twice. It was released on June 9, 2021, through JYP Entertainment and Republic Records. It serves as the lead single from the group's tenth extended play, Taste of Love, which was released two days after.

Background and release

On April 19, 2021, it was reported that Twice were in the final stages of preparing for their comeback slated for June and were planning to film a music video on Jeju Island. The group revealed the track listing to the EP, revealing "Alcohol-Free" as the lead single. On June 7 and 8, the music video teasers for its accompanying video were published. "Alcohol-Free" was released for digital download and streaming on June 9, alongside an accompanying music video. To promote "Alcohol-Free", Twice performed the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on the day of its release.

Composition

Written by J. Y. Park, "Alcohol-Free" is a bossa nova summer track with some hip hop elements, expressing Twice's "unique colors". Chaeyoung and Jihyo said that it reminded them of the group's earlier summer song, "Dance the Night Away". Lyrically, the song recounts the magical moments of falling in love, with references to alcoholic drinks and cocktails. Running for 3 minutes and 30 seconds, the song is composed in the key of G♯ major with a tempo of 97 beats per minute.

Reception

Billboard ranked "Alcohol-Free" the 89th best song of 2021, writing that "Music history is littered with classic booze bangers, but far rarer is the pop jewel that sings of sobriety while remaining absolutely intoxicating." The song was ranked at number 71 on PitchforkШаблон:'s readers polls for the 100 best songs of the year. It also appeared in unranked lists of the best K-pop songs of 2021 by CNN Philippines, Marie Claire, The National, and Teen Vogue.
