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.

Stay Together
2NE1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
그대도 눈물 흘리고 있다
면단 한번 내 생각 한적 있다면
지금 달려와 날 안아줄래요
눈을 감아도 그대 얼굴 생각이 나서
숨을 쉬고 있어도 계속 숨이 막혀서
우리 첫 만남은 오직 상처만 남은
슬픈 영혼 같은걸
나의 마지막 말을 꼭 행복하라는
바보 같은 말들 뿐인걸
날 사랑해줘요 다시 내게 와줘요
예전처럼 다시 날 안아줘요
날 위로해줘요 지금 전화해줘요
예전처럼 그대 목소리 듣고싶네요
널 잊을거라고 goodbye 약속했지만
아직 널 보면 나 떨려 we got stay together
잠이 오질 않아 너도 나와 같은지
항상 난 떨려 I love you forever
널 잊을거라고 goodbye 약속했지만
아직 널 보면 나 떨려 we got stay together
잠이 오질 않아 너도 나와 같은지
내 생각하는지 아닌걸 알았지
상처는 눈물을 남기고 생각에 잠기고
친구들의 위로 들리지 않고
하루 종일 울고 죽고 싶을 만큼 가슴이 아프고
난 또 하루 종일 전화길 붙잡고
그대 보고 싶어 못 참고
혼자 또 의미 없는 하루를 보내고
날 사랑해줘요 다시 내게 와줘요
예전처럼 다시 날 안아줘요
날 위로해줘요 지금 전화해줘요
예전처럼 그대 목소리 듣고싶네요
꼭 잊을거라고 goodbye 약속했지만
아직 널 보면 나 떨려 we got stay together
잠이 오질 않아 너도 나와 같은지
내 생각하는지 아닌걸 알았지
누군가 내게 와줘 애기해줬으면
처음부터 이사랑은 잘못된 거라고
어딘가 허전하고 가슴이 아파와
아직 널 사랑하고 있나봐
널 잊을거라고 goodbye 약속했지만
아직 널 보면 나 떨려 we got stay together
잠이 오질 않아 너도 나와 같은지
꼭 잊을거라고 goodbye 약속했지만
아직 널 보면 나 떨려 we got stay together
잠이 오질 않아 너도 나와 같은지
내 생각 하는지 아닌걸 알았지
The lyrics of 2NE1's song Stay Together express the desperation and longing of someone who has suffered a heartbreak and still loves their former partner. They describe the pain of being alone, feeling haunted by memories, and struggling to move on. The use of "we" in the chorus suggests that the singer is hoping for a reconciliation, despite having promised to forget and say goodbye. They ask their former partner to come back, to hug them like they used to, and to comfort them. The lyrics also suggest a sense of self-awareness, as the singer acknowledges that their thoughts and feelings might not be reciprocated, but they still hold onto hope.
The image of the singer and their former partner both shedding tears, as reflected in a mirror, creates a sense of mirrored pain and shared vulnerability. The mention of sleeplessness and difficulty breathing adds to the sense of emotional distress. The use of the Korean term "면단" means "cut-out," suggesting that the singer is asking their former partner to cut out a piece of their heart and take them back. The mention of past wounds and sad souls suggests a history of heartbreak and emotional trauma that is difficult to overcome. The lyrics also express a sense of regret for not being able to say or do more to show love and happiness.

거울에 비쳐진 내 모습처럼
Just like my reflection in the mirror
그대도 눈물 흘리고 있다
You're also shedding tears
면단 한번 내 생각 한적 있다면
If you've ever thought of me for a moment
지금 달려와 날 안아줄래요
Will you come running to embrace me now?
눈을 감아도 그대 얼굴 생각이 나서
Even when I close my eyes, I keep picturing your face
숨을 쉬고 있어도 계속 숨이 막혀서
Even when I'm breathing, it feels like I'm suffocating
우리 첫 만남은 오직 상처만 남은
Our first encounter only left us with wounds
슬픈 영혼 같은걸
An empty soul full of sadness
나의 마지막 말을 꼭 행복하라는
My final words were a foolish plea for happiness
바보 같은 말들 뿐인걸
But they were just foolish words
날 사랑해줘요 다시 내게 와줘요
Love me and come back to me again
예전처럼 다시 날 안아줘요
Embrace me just like before
날 위로해줘요 지금 전화해줘요
Comfort me and call me now
예전처럼 그대 목소리 듣고싶네요
I want to hear your voice, just like before
널 잊을거라고 goodbye 약속했지만
I promised to forget you and said goodbye
아직 널 보면 나 떨려 we got stay together
But I still tremble when I see you, we got to stay together
잠이 오질 않아 너도 나와 같은지
I can't sleep, I wonder if you feel the same way
상처는 눈물을 남기고 생각에 잠기고
Pain leaves behind tears and takes over my thoughts
친구들의 위로 들리지 않고
My friends' consolations fall on deaf ears
하루 종일 울고 죽고 싶을 만큼 가슴이 아프고
My heart aches so much that I cry all day and feel like dying
난 또 하루 종일 전화길 붙잡고
I spend my day holding onto the phone
그대 보고 싶어 못 참고
Unable to resist missing you
혼자 또 의미 없는 하루를 보내고
I spend another meaningless day alone
꼭 잊을거라고 goodbye 약속했지만
I promised to forget you and said goodbye
아직 널 보면 나 떨려 we got stay together
But I still tremble when I see you, we got to stay together
내 생각하는지 아닌걸 알았지
I know you're not thinking of me
누군가 내게 와줘 애기해줬으면
If only someone could come to me and comfort me
처음부터 이사랑은 잘못된 거라고
From the beginning, this love was a mistake
어딘가 허전하고 가슴이 아파와
I feel empty and my heart aches for something
아직 널 사랑하고 있나봐
I guess I still love you

SS N 동감입니다. 가사도 그렇고 멜로디가 빠르긴한데 엄청 우울하고 서정적이죠. 이 노래 살면서 제일 많이 들은 노래은데 공감되는글 보니 반갑네요. Inst만 들어도 최고
