In September 2010, it was announced that two members of the original lineup, Ji Sun and Ji In, would be leaving to pursue other activities. They would soon be replaced by two new members, Yura and Hyeri. The new lineup was showcased with the release of their second lead single, "잘해줘봐야", marking a depature from the autotune-heavy "cute" pop they debuted with and showing off a mature dance-pop sound.
In early 2011, they collaborated with Japanese artist Nami Tamaki (玉置成実) on her song "Girlie Night". In March 2011, they released their third lead single, "반짝반짝", thrusting them further into popularity.
In October 2012, it was announced that member Jihae left the group to pursue her education at the Sungkyunkwan University.

The lyrics of Girl's Day's song Nothing Lasts Forever depict a sense of uncertainty and anxiety about the future of a romantic relationship. The chorus, "Cuz nothing lasts forever / Neon naemameul molla sarang jwobwaya" ("Because nothing lasts forever / You have to give me your heart, your love"), acts as a plea for reassurance and commitment from a partner who seems to be pulling away. The verses highlight the singer's frustration and confusion, as they question the other person's motivations and commitment to the relationship.
The lines "Jugeullae sallae ssawobogo / Neo jeongmal waeirae dallaebwasseo" ("You're acting strange and avoiding me / Why did you change so suddenly?") suggest a change in behavior from the other person, which has created a rift in the relationship. The singer feels betrayed by this change, as seen in "Chingurang nondago nae yaksok ssak itgo / Bappa jukgetdago jeonhwareul hwak kkeunko" ("You promised to be my friend / And cut off contact without warning").
Throughout the song, the repetition of "nothing lasts" emphasizes the fleeting nature of relationships and the feeling of impermanence that comes with them. The final lines, "Neo gieokhani / Niga han gobaek mideosseo jeongmal / Jikyeojugo utge hae jundamyeo / Nan nunmulppuninde you say" ("You remember / You once believed in a promise / Protect it and cry out / I'm just in tears, you say"), call for the other person to remember the promise that they once made and to work to keep it.
