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.

2NE1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
아무렇지 않게 그녀와 kiss하고
내가 준 향수 뿌리고 그녀를 품에 안고
나와 했던 그 약속 또 다시 하겠죠
우린 이미 늦었나 봐요 우리 사랑 끝난 건가요
아무 말이라도 좀 내게 해줘요 oh
우리 정말 사랑했잖아 되돌릴 순 없는 건가요
오늘밤 나 많이 아파요
변했니 네 맘 속에 이제 난 더이상 없는거니
난 널 널 생각하면 너무 아파 (아파) 아파 아파
아무것도 아니라는 듯
내 눈물 바라보고
태연하게 말을 또 이어가고
아니란 말 못하겠다고 그 어떤 미련도
후회도 전혀 없다고 잔인하게 말했죠
우린 이미 늦은건가요
우리 사랑 끝난건가요 (woo woo)
거짓말이라도 좀 아니라고 해줘요 oh
이젠 더 잘할 수 있는데
다시 만날 수는 없지만
오늘밤 나 많이 아파요
변했니 네 맘속에 이제 난 더이상 없는거니
난 널 널 생각하면 너무 아파 (아파) 아파 아파
더이상 예전의 네가 아니야
내가 사랑한 너와 지금의 네가 너무도 달라서
그저 멍하니 멀어지는 널
바라보고만 서서 울었어
No way, I can't recognize
You're not mine anymore
변해야 했니 돌아올 순 없니 (you're not mine anymore)
꼭 변해야 했니 돌아와줄 순 없니 (you're not mine anymore)
변해야 했니 돌아올 순 없니 (you're not mine anymore)
왜 변해야 했니 계속 사랑할 순 없니
Oh 끝인 거니 네 맘 속에
이제 난 더이상 없는 거니
난 널 널 생각하면
너무 아파 아파 아파
아파 아파
아파 아파
The lyrics of 2NE1's song "It Hurts" talk about a painful breakup and the aftermath of it. The first verse describes the memories of the singer and her ex-girlfriend. They used to walk together, kiss, and make promises to each other. However, now the relationship seems to have ended, and the singer is trying to cope with the loss. The chorus questions whether their love has ended for good or not, and asks the ex-girlfriend to say something to ease the pain. The second verse describes how the singer is trying to be strong despite the heartbreak. She remains composed and keeps talking, though inside she feels the pain.
The bridge brings out the theme of change. The singer realizes that her ex-girlfriend has changed, and she cannot recognize her anymore. She is different from the person she used to love. The singer wonders if this change was necessary and if there is any way the relationship could go back to how it was before.
Overall, "It Hurts" is a poignant song that captures the pain of a breakup, the bitter-sweet memories of a past love, and the realization that change is inevitable.

내가 준 신발을 신고 그녀와 길을 걷고
I walk down the street with her wearing the shoes I gave her
아무렇지 않게 그녀와 kiss하고
I kiss her like it's nothing

I hold her in my arms, with the scent of the perfume I gave her

I just stared at you who was drifting away, and cried
No way I can't recognize
No way I can't recognize
you're not mine anymore

Had you to change? Can't you come back?
