They were forced to disband by their company on November 24, 2016, and now exist in a sort of limbo state, as all members have referred to themselves as members of the group, often meeting up and even reuniting at Coachella 2022, but have not yet acquired the rights to promote as a group.
2NE1 has released a promotional song featuring the group Big Bang called Lollipop. The song was released as a promotional song for the CYON cellular phone Lollipop. Although it was not a promoted single (as it was an advertisement song, there were problems with network chart eligibility), "Lollipop" proved to be a strong chart hit, going to #1 on various online charts and topping music television network Mnet's online chart for four weeks in a row. Despite already achieving chart success, the group did not officially debut until May. On May 6th 2009, they released their debut digital single, "FIRE ". The group released 2 music videos for the single, one known as the "space version" and the other known as the "street version. They then released a self-titled mini-album and promoted their hit "I Don't Care" followed by "Pretty Boy." Both songs received a substantial amount of success, with the former becoming one of their biggest hits.
In August 2010, YG Entertainment founder, Yang Hyun Suk, announced that 2NE1 will promote three title tracks for their first full length album, TO ANYONE. In addition, three music videos would be produced, filmed, and released for the tracks. The album would be released on September 9, 2010.
Two days before the release of the album, the pre-orders for the copies of the album were very high. YG Entertainment stated that the pre-orders for the album have already reached around 120,000 copies surpassing the amount of sales made by their previous mini-album which only sold around 100,000 copies in total.
Music videos for 박수쳐 and GO AWAY were released on September 9 and 10, respectively.CAN'T NOBODY was originally scheduled to be released on September 11, 2010 but was instead unveiled on September 12.
2NE1 held their comeback stage of Korean music program Inkigayo on September 12. They performed their three title tracks, 박수쳐, GO AWAY, and CAN'T NOBODY. The performances were recorded early in the day so they could perform at the Hallyu Dream Concert in Gyeongju later in the evening.
According to a YG Entertainment representative, promotions for the album alone cost the company a total of $850,195.
The height of 2NE1's commercial success was reached in the time surrounding their following two Korean projects. Their 2nd Mini-Album, released in 2011, brought them their biggest hit, I AM THE BEST, as well as 3 other hit songs, Lonely, Hate You, Ugly , and a solo hit by Bom, and also included 2010's Don't Stop The Music.
They released multiple successful singles and Japanese projects between 2011 and 2014.
Their second full album, CRUSH, was released in 2014, alongside its massively successful single, Come Back Home. The album debuted at number 61 on the United States "Billboard 200", and was followed with its second single, Gotta Be You.
Maknae Minzy left the group in April of 2016 following dissatisfaction with the group's long hiatus and alleged mistreatment from the label. 2NE1 released one song, Goodbye, without her following their disbandment, a song written by CL as a goodbye to Minzy, now serving also as a goodbye from the group to their fans. Minzy has since been promoted multiple times as "Minzy of 2NE1", singing the group's songs and carrying their name at events. The other three members left the label within the following years, and also sing the group's songs while referring to themselves on multiple occasions as members of 2NE1. The group often meet and speak privately, and reunited on stage in 2022 during CL's set at Coachella 2022 to perform their signature song, "I Am The Best." This made them the first Korean girl group to perform on the Coachella's "Main Stage", and second to perform at Coachella over-all, after BLACKPINK. It is also worth noting that YG and multiple members of BLACKPINK have cited 2NE1 as inspiration for the group, with BLACKPINK even receiving at least one known unreleased 2NE1 song, titled "Blame It On Your Love". BLACKPINK released their version of the track, now titled "As If It's Your Last," in 2017. 2NE1 was intended to have a collaboration as solo artists on CL's 2021 album, ALPHA. The song, Let It, was released in the end as a solo song by CL, due to time constraints surrounding Minzy's schedule. CL previewed Bom and Dara's parts during a livestream upon her album's release.

아직 너와 난 남남이니까
어린애처럼 보채지 좀 마요
아직 시작도 안 했으니까
아이들의 불장난 같은 사랑은 싫어
아냐 사실 난
나를 떠나 보낸 그가 아직 너무 미워요
차갑게 식어버린 내 가슴은 아직도 그를
그리워해요
그리워해요
그리워해요
그리워해요
그리워해요
그렇게 너무 밝히지 좀 마요
세상은 원래 어두우니까 (You know what I said)
어쩜 그렇게 해맑게 웃어요 (What?)
자세히 보니 슬픈 표정이야
I know I've been there before
어른들의 계산적인 사랑은 싫어
살짝 지쳐있을 뿐이야 난 괜찮아
아냐 사실 난
나를 떠나 보낸 그가 아직 너무 미워요
차갑게 식어버린 내 가슴은 아직도 그를
그리워해요
그리워해요

나의 젊은 날의 사랑은 이렇게 끝이 나네요
그대 꼭 행복해야 해요
오랜 시간이 지나가도 우리 서로 기억해요
그땐 서로가 있었음을
그땐 서로가 있었음을
The song “Missing You” by 2NE1 is a ballad that talks about the pain of missing someone who has left, even though the relationship was not perfect. The first verse talks about not wanting the relationship to be too easy, acknowledging that they are not in a serious relationship yet. They refuse to play love like children who play with fire, and they hate childish love.
The chorus features the repetition of the phrase “I miss you” as a way to express the feelings of longing and sadness. The second verse talks about how the singer dislikes adult love, where people are merely calculating and pragmatic. They are a little tired, but they will be okay. The bridge of the song offers a piece of advice on viewing the world in a darker light, which is how it actually is.
The song’s message stresses that relationships are not always perfect, but that does not stop people from missing someone who might have played a significant part in their life. The song also expresses a sense of hope that no matter what happens, one should look at the past with fondness and be happy for the moments shared.

Dear 2NE1,
I want to be HAPPY
Please don't GO AWAY
You've set my heart on FIRE and made me feel like I AM THE BEST
The whole world can't stop but MISSING YOU
CAN'T NOBODY take your spot
I DON'T CARE about the haters, I only care about you
Everyone tried but its GOTTA BE YOU
Please COMEBACK HOME
So we can SCREAM your names again
We are feeling so LONELY without you
IT HURTS to say GOODBYE
I just WANNA GO BACK
To when you were my ONE AND ONLY
P.S.: Wanna go back and one and only are Bom's and CL's songs accordingly.

If you miss 2NE1 in 2020, we can see if:
MAMAMOO performance style is Same like 2NE1, but MAMAMOO concept is not same like 2NE1.
BLACKPINK concept is same like 2NE1, but BLACKPINK performance style is not same like 2NE1.
The result is:
MAMAMOO+BLACKPINK= 2NE1 in 2020
