9MUSES debuted in 2010 with the single: Let's have a party, with the title track "No Playboy". Shortly after their debut, Jaekyung, Bini, Rana, and Euaerin were announced to be leaving the group. Euaerin later decided to return to the group.
The group came back in 2011 with "휘가로 (Figaro)", which was received more positively. It was revealed that their company had nearly decided to rename them "Sweet Candy", due to fears that people would become confused as to why a group called "9MUSES" only had seven members. In 2012, Kyungri was added to the group lineup in time for their comeback the same year, "뉴스 (News)".
In 2013, Sungah was added to the group line up, thus completing the group, with 9 members. In the same year, the group had 4 comebacks, with their 3rd comeback having the group release their first full-length album, Prima Donna. The group promoted 돌스 (Dolls) from their third extended play DOLLS in January, 와일드 (Wild) from their fourth EP Wild in May, 건 (Gun) from their first full-length album Prima Donna in October, and 글루 (Glue) in December.
In 2014, Star Empire announced that members Lee Sem, Eunji, and Sera had graduated from the group. The company announced there would be a comeback in August of that year with a new member.
In 2015, two new members, Keumjo and Sojin, joined the group. They released their fifth EP in January of that year, DRAMA, with the single 드라마 (DRAMA). The group came back 6 months later in July with the EP 9MUSES S/S EDITION, with 다쳐 (Hurt Locker) as the title track. They would release one more EP in the same year, LOST, in November with the single 잠은 안오고 배는 고프고 (Sleepless Night).
In 2016, members Euaerin and Minha graduated from the group, following the expiration of their contracts. Later in that year, Hyuna also decided to graduate the group, due to contract expiration. The group came back as a sub-unit in August, Nine Muses A, which consisted of Kyungri, Hyemi, Sojin and Keumjo with the single album Muses Diary.
In 2017, it was announced that the line-up for Nine Muses A will be coming back as Nine Muses, with Sungah on hiatus to study music. They released their eighth EP, MUSES DIARY PART.2 : IDENTITY in June, with the lead single 기억해 (Remember).
On February 10, 2019, Star Empire released official statement on Nine Muses fan cafe that the group would be disbanded. The group concluded activities with the release of their final digital single titled "Remember" on February 14 and held fan meeting with the same title on February 24.

낯선 꿈속에 빠진 채 설레던 Night and days
Baby remember? Remember? 처음 만난 떨림은 내 모든 걸 깨워줬어
Don′t you know it? 마주 보는 눈빛이 알고 있는 비밀
애써 웃는 것보단 말해주려 해
Oh remember? Remember? 날 믿는 너니까
나의 대답은 항상 너야
Baby I need you now, I need you now
함께했던 날들과 소중했던 순간이 낡아버린대도
깊어진 마음보다 더 뜨겁게
Remember me 아껴둔 말이야
웃고 있는 너와 나 늘 기억해줘요
Remember me, remember MINE 널 처음 본 그날에
네 눈빛을 난 기억해
매일 날 비춰준 빛을 준 따스한 순간들 난 기억해
서로가 그늘이 돼 계절이 돼 시간이 돼
Oh remember? Remember? 내 깊은 마음속에 빛이 되어준 너란 걸
Baby I need you now, I need you now
함께했던 날들과 소중했던 순간이 낡아버린대도
깊어진 마음보다 더 뜨겁게
Remember me 아껴둔 말이야
웃고 있는 너와 나
어떤 말로 안아줘야 하는 거니
언제나 잊지 마 늘 잊지 마
가장 빛나던 날에 웃고 울던 모든 순간
네 커다란 사랑이 날 만든 거야
Remember me 그 모든 날들이 정말 고마웠어
I remember all the times 늘 기억해줘
The lyrics of "Remember" by 9muses portray a nostalgic and heartfelt message about cherishing the memories of a past relationship. The opening lines describe the whispers of starlight by an open window late at night, capturing the dreamlike atmosphere and excitement of a new love. The line "Baby remember? Remember? 처음 만난 떨림은 내 모든 걸 깨워줬어" expresses how the initial encounter with this person awakened and transformed the singer's entire being.
Throughout the song, the lyrics emphasize the importance of communication and understanding. The line "Don't you know it? 마주 보는 눈빛이 알고 있는 비밀" suggests that the gaze between the two individuals holds a secret that only they can understand. Rather than forcing a smile, the singer yearns for honesty and openness in their connection. The chorus repeats the plea for remembrance, acknowledging that even if the precious moments and shared days have faded, the depth of their feelings remains strong.
The lyrics further illustrate the deep impact this person had on the singer's life. Lines like "Remember me, remember MINE 널 처음 본 그날에" highlight the significance of the first time they saw each other, as well as the lasting impression left by the other person's eyes. The phrase "서로가 그늘이 돼 계절이 돼 시간이 돼" symbolizes how they became each other's refuge, companions throughout different seasons and the passing of time.
In the end, the lyrics remind both parties to never forget the moments they shared. The lines "언제나 잊지 마 늘 잊지 마 / 가장 빛나던 날에 웃고 울던 모든 순간 / 네 커다란 사랑이 날 만든 거야 / Remember me 그 모든 날들이 정말 고마웠어 / I remember all the times 늘 기억해줘" express the longing for the other person to always remember the happiness and growth they experienced together. It's a plea for their love to be treasured and never fade away.
