The group eventually released their third single, "니까짓게 (How Dare You)" in November. The song became a success as it swept Korean music charts and topped music sites like MelOn, Soribada, Bugs, Monkey3, and Daum Music making it Sistar's first number one single. On 9 December the group attended the Golden Disk Awards, and won the "Newcomer Award." On 27 December, Sistar won their first Music Bank award for "니까짓게 (How Dare You)".

Sistar returned on 21 July with an album entitled "So Cool". The title song of the same name immediately topped Korean music charts upon its release. "So Cool" was the inaugural number one song on the Billboard Korea K-Pop Hot 100 chart after the chart's launch on 25 August. On 11 September Sistar won their first "Mutizen Award" at Inkigayo.

On 11 June Starship announced that Sistar would be making a summer comeback with a dance track. Sistar would be re-entering the market while their hit song "나혼자 (Alone)" was still on live charts. Their comeback was a mini-album entitled "Loving U". The mini-album contained the title track, "Loving U (러빙유)", produced by Duble Sidekick, one new song "Holiday (홀리데이)" and remixes of the groups' past hits ("Alone", "Ma Boy", "So Cool", "How Dare You" and "Push Push"). Sistar released the music video of "Loving U" on 28 June. Shortly after its release, "Loving U" achieved an "all-kill" by topping all major online music charts in South Korea.
2013: Give It to Me
Sistar19 released their first single album and the music video for the title track "있다 없으니까 (Gone Not Around Any Longer)" on 31 January. Upon its release, the song topped on the real-time music charts. It went on to hit Melon's roof and achieved a certified perfect all-kill from Instiz for two consecutive weeks.
Sistar's second full album, "Give It To Me" was released on 11 June with a title track of the same name. Sistar represented South Korea in the ABU TV Song Festival on 26 October at ABU TV Song Festival 2013 in Hanoi, Vietnam performing the title track from their latest album "Give It to Me".

The song "Shady Girl" by SISTAR is a fun and upbeat track that explores the pivotal moments of falling in love. The song’s protagonist is somebody who likes to play hard to get and enjoys to keep her admirer guessing. She talks about how when she sees her love interest, she pretends to be cold and indifferent, but inside she's melting. Her emotions run deep but she keeps them hidden. She is aware that her crush is aware of her true feelings for them, which creates a delicious tension between them.
The lyrics are written from the perspective of a girl who is coy about her love for someone but can’t help the way she feels inside. The rapper's verse, which breaks up the otherwise sweet and sugary song, adds an extra layer of spiciness. The rapper addresses the suspicions of her admirer that she is not the most innocent of girls, saying she's not perfect but he is worth the fight. Overall, the song is a window into the excited and nervous feelings people experience during the early stages of a relationship.
