They made their official debut on February 16, 2012 with their single HOLLA, promoting the title track, "Whoz That Girl". The group originally debuted with six members, but three members (Yuzi, Dami and Haeryung) decided to leave the group two months after the group's debut, and were replaced by two new members, Hyerin and Solji. Later, the members who left re-debuted in BESTie under YNB Entertainment.
On August 24, 2014, EXID held their comeback showcase at the Ilchi Art Hall, performing their new song "위아래 (Up & Down)". The song was released on August 27 and initially charted poorly, failing to make it on the top 100 on the Gaon Chart; though it peaked at number 94 on the domestic chart. However, the song slowly gained popularity in late November after a fan-cam of member Hani performing the song went viral on Korean social networking websites. This lead to the song shooting back up on the music charts, eventually climbing up into the top 10 on the real-time charts and topping the Gaon Chart.

오늘도 날 찾는 전화 울리고
이렇게 답 없는 만남 절대 하지 않겠다고
그럴 때 마다 다가와 또 어지럽게 해
난 네가 흔드는 그대로 흔들려
Yeah 넌 말해 나에게
타 있는 것도 아닌데 좋아죽겠다는 말을 해
넌 네 길을 갈 테니 너를 따르래
칫 you got nothing on me
You don't care about me
There's no about we 칫
You got nothing on me
For real
좀 재지 말고 말해 baby
딴 소리는 집어치우고 말해 내게
왜 날 밀어내 밀어내 닳는 것도 아닌데
아끼지마 아끼지마 아끼지마 아끼지마 baby
넌 또 내게 얘기해 속삭여 달콤히 내 귀에
그럼 난 또 끌려가 언제 올지 모를 연락 항상 대기해
But it's wrong yeah it's been so long hey
이러지마 더는 내게
Umm baby woo no I don't like that, don't like that (don't like that)
Umm baby woo 이런 식은 안돼 안돼 (no no)
끊어내려 해도 난 다시 돌아가져 그냥 좀 얘기해줘 이젠
좀 재지 말고 말해줘 baby
딴 소리는 집어치우고 말해 내게
왜 날 밀어내 밀어내 닳는 것도 아닌데
아끼지마 아끼지마 아끼지마 아끼지마 baby
Boy, you never know wow 날 불안하게 하지 말고
자꾸 네 멋대로 하지 말아
있는 그대로의 널 말해도 돼
아끼지마 아끼지마 아끼지마
Oh wow, yeah
Baby you make me say
Oh baby show me your love ooh
난 네가 흔드는 그대로 흔들려
좀 재지 말고 말해줘 baby (말해줘 baby)
딴 소리는 집어치우고 말해 내게 (말해내게)
왜 날 밀어내 밀어내 닳는 것도 아닌데
아끼지마 아끼지마 아끼지마 아끼지마 baby
The lyrics of EXID's song The Vibe are about a relationship that is stuck in a cycle of miscommunication and uncertainty. In the first verse, the singer is hesitant about meeting up with someone who has been calling them repeatedly, knowing that it will only lead to confusion. The chorus follows, with the other person expressing a desire to end things because they believe that the relationship is not worth pursuing. However, the singer is still drawn to them and wants to work things out.
The second verse continues this theme, with the singer pleading with their partner to be clear about their feelings and intentions. They are tired of being pushed away for no reason and just want some honesty. The bridge of the song seems to be a moment of realization, where the singer acknowledges the unhealthy pattern they have been stuck in and begs for things to be different. But the song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer professing their love and vulnerability to the other person.
Some possible interpretations of the lyrics could be that the two people in the relationship are not on the same page emotionally or are struggling with expressing themselves. Perhaps one of them is holding back or too afraid of getting hurt to fully engage. The title "The Vibe" could refer to the emotional atmosphere that these two people create when they are together, or to the overall mood of the song itself.
