G.NA was originally set to debut as the leader of South Korean girl group Five Girls (오소녀) under Good Entertainment, along with Wonder Girls’ Yubin, After School’s UEE, Secret’s Jeon Hyosung, a former T-ara member and current Spica member Yang Jiwon. However, the group disbanded shortly before their scheduled debut in 2007 due to Good Entertainment's financial troubles and the members all left for separate Korean entertainment companies.
During her trainee days under Cube Entertainment, she was featured in 2PM's "10 Out of 10 Points" debut music video and was Hyuna's backup dancer in her solo song "Change".
G.NA released her digital duet song "Aeini Saenggimyeon Hago Sipeun Il" (애인이 생기면 하고 싶은 일, lit. Things I Want to Do When I Have a Lover) together with Rain on July 5, 2010, solidifying her debut into the Korean music industry.
G.NA's debut album Draw G's First Breath was one of the most-anticipated female solo acts, and as such, the line-up for the production was impressive. Kim Do Hoon, Shin Sa Dong Tiger, Jung Ji Chan, Kang Ji Won, and other great staff participated in her album, and the tracks they have released have received praise. G.NA's debut music video, "Kkeojyeo Julge Jar Sara" (꺼져 줄게 잘 살아, lit. I'll Back Off So You Can Live), featured BEAST's Doo Joon as the male actor, as well as Jun Hyung's rapping. Before her on-air debut on the music show, she was congratulated by her former Five Girls members Hyosung, Uee and Yubin through pre-recorded footage. She won her first award on M! Countdown on 12 August 2010.
After finishing her promotions on "Kkeojyeo Julge Jar Sara", she chose to promote "Supa Solo" from her album Draw G's First Breath as her following track but unfortunately did not win any awards. She also became the MC on Arirang TV's The M Wave, along with Alexander and Kevin of U-Kiss. G.NA took part in the OST of Playful Kiss, starring Kim Hyun Joong (SS501) and Jung So Min, called "Kiss Me". She was featured in Korean rapper Verbal Jint's EP Go Easy 0.5. Later she did a duet with 4minute's Hyuna in the single Together Forever with the track named "Say You Love Me".
G.NA won on the 17th and 24 February on M! Countdown. On February 25, G.NA also won her first ever Music Bank for her hit song "Black & White". Music portal Dosirak has revealed that singer G.NA was the #1 best seller in digital sales for the month of February. According to information released by Dosirak on February 27, G.NA’s “Black & White” comeback album took first in digital sales. Also G.NA won her first Inkigayo Mutizen on February 27, marking her grand slam, for winning on all three music programs.
The music video for "I Already Miss You" was released on March 9, 2011. G.NA also appeared in Lim Jeong Hee's music video for "Golden Lady" with gagman Park Hwi Soon which is released on May 9, 2011. She was also featured for Hyuna's album Bubble Pop! in the song "A Bitter Day".

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
똑바로 얘기해 날 보고서 내 눈을 쳐다보고 말을 해
헤어지자 그 말이니 나와 끝내고 싶은거니
알아 넌 여자가 생긴거야
알아 넌 내게 싫증난거야
다만 눈물이 차오르지만
꺼져줄게 잘 살아 그 말밖에 난 못해
잊어줄게 잘 살아 나 없이도 행복해
네가 버린 사랑 네가 가져가 남김없이 가져가
미안하단 말도 하지마 내 걱정하지마
Yup, shawty my sweety
날 떠나 간다는 네 입술이
오늘 따라 왜 이리 원망스러워 보이는지
널 붙잡아야 하는데
말이 나오질 않아
넌 이미 멀어지는데
알아 넌 나를 다 지울거야
알아 난 네가 참 미울거야
다만 모든걸 다 알면서도
꺼져줄게 잘 살아 그 말밖에 난 못해
잊어줄게 잘 살아 나 없이도 행복해
네가 버린 사랑 네가 가져가 남김없이 가져가
미안하단 말도 하지마 내 걱정하지마
You 내가 살았던 이유 You 내가 원했던 전부 You
너 하나만 바라봐주던 나잖아
Why 왜 날 떠나는 거야 Why 왜 날 버리는 거야
어차피 이럴거면서 왜 날 사랑한거니
Ooh
혹시 그 날 생각나 우리 처음 만난 날
아직도 난 생각나 네가 했던 약속이
나만 아껴주고 나만 지키고 나만 사랑한다고
난 믿었어 너의 거짓말 난 믿었단말야
Oh (oh) oh oh oh 사랑하긴 한거니
Oh oh oh oh no no no no
Oh oh oh oh 잊어줄게 잘 살아
The song I'll Back Off So You'll Live Better by G.NA ft. Jun Hyung of BEAST is a heart-wrenching ballad about a couple breaking up. The lyrics express the male singer's desire to end the relationship so the female singer can live a better life without him, despite the emotional pain it causes him. He tells her he knows she's found someone else and is no longer happy with him, and even though he's crying on the inside, he'll let her go for her own sake. The female singer responds by telling him he doesn't need to apologize or worry about her because she'll be okay, and that she still remembers their first meeting and the promises he made to love and protect her, even though they turned out to be lies. The song is a powerful portrayal of the difficulties of ending a relationship and the conflicting emotions that come with it.
