On November 29th, an announcement about BIG BANG's 2011 comeback appeared on YG-life, along with information on the members solo activities, which included the official announcement of the G-Dragon and T.O.P sub-unit. Earlier that month, before the announcement, the unit hosted a party where filming for their first music video took place.
The units first public broadcast occurred at the 2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards, where they performed the song, 뻑이가요. Then, on December 14th, the duo's "World Premier" showcase was streamed live on YouTube, via BIG BANG's official channel. The next day, they digitally released two songs from their debut album, along with the music video for their song High High. The unit performed High High, and Oh Yeah (featuring 박봄 of 2NE1) on SBS Inkigayo on December 19th.
Their debut album as GD&TOP was released on December 24th, 2010. The album contains 11 tracks and includes solo songs by both members. The majority of the album was produced by Teddy and E. Knock, with both G-Dragon and T.O.P contributing to composition, and writing. The duo is set to promote three songs from the album - High High, Oh Yeah, and 뻑이가요.

아주 뻑이가요 뻑 뻑
아주 뻑이가요 아주
뻑뻑뻑뻑 뻑이가요
둘만 보면 나도 몰래
뻑이가요 아니 손이가요
우리가요 넌 뻑이가요
Double double (combo)
Double double double (combo)
They say bubble bubble
Bubble bubble (gum)
너는 질겅질겅 눈이 빙글빙글
길거리를 걸어 다니는 저 아가씨들
남자 녀석들도 외쳐대는 나의이름 (T.O.P!)
내 랩은 대한민국 기호식품
나를 따라하는 젊은이들
알쏭달쏭 하고 달콤해
색안경을 부순 나의 two job 모험
나와 비슷한 wanna be star
쫓고 쫓기지만 나는 movie star
여자보다 장난감을 좋아하지만
우습게보면 상처받지 (I didn't mean ah)
난 오리지날 어울리지 난
편의점의 커피 이름마저 (T.O.P!)
내 까만 눈동자 널 흔들어요
나의 두 속눈썹은
역겨운 스모키 화장과는 다른 타고난 여유
아주 뻑이가요 아주
뻑뻑뻑뻑 뻑이가요
둘만 보면 나도 몰래 뻑이가요
아니 손이가요
우리가요 넌 뻑이가요
This is double double
Double double (combo)
Double double double (combo)
They say bubble bubble
Bubble bubble (gum)
너는 질겅질겅 눈이 빙글빙글
구름을 가르고 다가온 G-dragon
날아라 super board
비트 위의 손오공
Mic는 내 지휘봉, 무대 위의 나폴레옹
(I'll be raising ma swags
Some wanna be 제 2의 권지용)
Bling bliing bling 대충 그냥
아무거나 걸치면 화보
내 이름 다 알죠
(Bravo my life) 서울 to uh 도쿄 찍고 다시 또
They call me 홍길동
월화수목금토일
매일 스케쥴에 시달려 (oh-oh)
또 밤이면 I'm so lonely
내 스캔들아 기달려 (오빠)
저 오빠가 좋다 하니 영 가오가 안서
인지도는 우리집 가호가 앞서
내 제스쳐는 최면 (널 유혹하는 수화)
내 목소린 제법 sweet Medusa
아주 뻑이가요 아주
뻑뻑뻑뻑 뻑이가요
둘만 보면 나도 몰래 뻑이가요

The verses of GD&TOP's song "뻑이가요" depict the playful yet carefree nature of the duo's life. The repeated chorus of "뻑이가요" (meaning something like "lost control") is reminiscent of the feeling of being drunk or letting go of one's inhibitions. The double-double combo and bubble gum references suggest a whimsical tone, which is punctuated by the onomatopoeic sound of the chorus. The lines "남자 녀석들도 외쳐대는 나의 이름 (T.O.P!)" suggest that TOP has achieved celebrity status and is recognized on the streets, while the next line "내 랩은 대한민국 기호식품" emphasizes his pride in being a symbol of Korean music. The lyrics also showcase the duo's confidence in their own abilities, as they reference young people trying to follow in their footsteps, and state that they are on a path to stardom.
The playful and carefree nature of the song is echoed in the music video, which features the duo engaging in various fun activities such as skateboarding and playing darts. The video also emphasizes their popularity, as they are shown performing in front of large crowds and being interviewed by the press. The infectious beat of the song and the lively visuals of the music video effectively convey the playful and energetic vibe of the song.
