I. Introduction
Holler is the second mini album by Girls' Generation TTS.
It was released digitally on September 16, 2014, and physically on September 18, 2014 with Holler serving as the album's title track.
During an interview with Billboard ,the three singers expressed, "This album was really personal for us and it was fun...to put out a much more raw side of our music...the music we put together has so much more layers, so much more depth to it in terms of sound, choruses or harmonizing together....Our main goal was to not be visually entertaining, but be vocally entertaining.''
They further described the album as an edgier, more mature version of its predecessor Twinkle and stated, "We want to make feel good songs that are relatable, we want to make albums that are more natural...and speak from the bottom of our hearts."
II. Singles
The trio revealed that Taeyeon took the responsibility for the song selection, Seohyun penned the lyrics to the song, "Only U'' while Tiffany served as the visual director to the overall album image and the concept of "Holler" music video.
The single track Whisper was released on September 13 peaking at number 4 on Gaon Weekly Chart. The title track Holler peaked at number 3 on Gaon's weekly chart and it was described by Tiffany as "a rhythmical song that has a big brass sound that stands out with a funky groove, soul, and is overflowing with energy".
The song was initially given to Japanese singer Mizuki Watanabe under the title "Hello Me!", which was a B-side of her 2007 single, "Best Friend".
III. Commercial Performance
Holler debuted at number 1 on both Gaon's weekly chart and Billboard World Albums chart. As a result of this, TTS
