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 to Girl's Day's song Oh! My God depict a woman who is frustrated with her partner's lack of communication and understanding. She pleads with him to speak his mind and be honest with her about his feelings, while also acknowledging that she herself has been sorry for her actions and has loved him in the past. The chorus emphasizes her exasperation, with the repeated phrase "Oh my God" illustrating her surprise and shock at the situation.
Throughout the verses, the references to gender roles and beauty standards point towards a larger societal issue. The lines "Namjan hanagachi ttokgatae hanan algo dureun molla molla/Hwajanghago meoril bakkwodo geu geotjocha neoneun molla molla" can be translated to "Guys are ignorant of what it takes to get ready/Even if they wash their face and style their hair, they don't know that". This can be seen as a commentary on how women are expected to conform to beauty standards and spend a lot of time on their appearance, while men are not expected to do the same. The frustration and exhaustion in the lyrics highlight how much pressure and double standards women face in society.
Overall, the lyrics of Oh! My God depict a woman who is fed up with the lack of understanding and honesty in her relationship, alongside societal pressures and double standards. The repeated "Oh my God" in the chorus adds a comedic element to the song, highlighting how ridiculous and frustrating the situation has become.
