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.

Don’t Cry
2NE1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
서로 욕심 속에 아픈 상처만 남아
Gotta let you go
(And please don't cry)
나라는 사람 참 그대에겐 못됐죠
바보 같은 내 맘을 못 잡고 널 아프게 했죠
(And please don't cry)
여기까지가 우리 둘의 끝인가요
It's okay baby, please don't cry
기나긴 여행이 끝났지만
또 언젠간 마주치겠지
다음 세상에서 꼭 다시 만나
하루가 멀게 우린 매일 다퉜죠
그땐 뭐가 그리 분했던지 매일 밤을 울었죠
(Baby, I cried)
너라는 사람 참 내겐 무심했죠
길고 기나긴 밤을 지새는 날 홀로 두었죠
(Baby, I cried)
여기까지가 우리 둘의 끝인가요
세상이 우릴 허락할 때 그때까지만
It's okay baby, please don't cry
기나긴 여행이 끝났지만
또 언젠간 마주치겠지
다음 세상에서 꼭 다시 만나
가끔 눈물이 날 찾아 올 때면
아름다웠던 우릴 기억할게요
그대 더 이상 아프지 말아요 제발
And please don't cry
It's okay baby, please don't cry
기나긴 여행이 끝났지만
또 언젠간 마주치겠지
다음 세상에서 꼭 다시 만나
It's okay baby, please don't cry
기나긴 여행이 끝났지만
또 언젠간 마주치겠지
다음 세상에서 꼭 다시 만나
The lyrics of 2NE1's song "Don't Cry" express the pain and regret of a failed relationship. The first verse talks about how love easily fades away, leaving only painful wounds in its wake, and the singer encourages the other person to move on and not cry over their separation. The chorus repeats this message, assuring the person that although their long journey together has come to an end, they will meet again in the next world. The second verse describes the arguments and tears that the couple went through, once again expressing regret that things didn't work out, and the singer pleads with the other person to not hurt anymore and remember the good times they shared.
As a whole, "Don't Cry" is a poignant and heartfelt ballad that speaks to anyone who has experienced heartbreak and loss. The lyrics are especially powerful because they are delivered by the strong and expressive vocals of 2NE1's members. The song is a testament to the group's versatility, as they are known for their fierce and energetic performances but are also able to showcase their emotional side.

사랑은 너무 쉽게 변해만 갔죠
Love easily fades away
서로 욕심 속에 아픈 상처만 남아
Only the wounds from our greed remain
Gotta let you go
I have to let you go
(And please don't cry)
(And don't cry while I do so)
나라는 사람 참 그대에겐 못됐죠
I wasn't good to you
바보 같은 내 맘을 못 잡고 널 아프게 했죠
Because of my foolish heart, I hurt you
여기까지가 우리 둘의 끝인가요
Is this the end of us?
세상이 우릴 허락할 때 그때까지만
Until the world allows it

We fought every day, as if days were long
그땐 뭐가 그리 분했던지 매일 밤을 울었죠
Whatever the reason, I cried every night
(Baby, I cried)
(Baby, I cried)
너라는 사람 참 내겐 무심했죠
To me, you seemed indifferent
길고 기나긴 밤을 지새는 날 홀로 두었죠
You left me alone through long, sleepless nights
여기까지가 우리 둘의 끝인가요
Is this the end of us?
세상이 우릴 허락할 때 그때까지만
Until the world allows it
가끔 눈물이 날 찾아 올 때면
Sometimes tears come to visit me
아름다웠던 우릴 기억할게요
I'll remember the beautiful us
그대 더 이상 아프지 말아요 제발
Please don't hurt anymore, my dear
It's okay baby, please don't cry
It's okay baby, don't cry
