Sandara was born to affluent Korean parents. However, by the time Sandara was eight years old, her father’s relatives placed her in a financially tight spot which then crippled his business. In hope of recovering from this strain, Sandara’s father tried his luck in the Philippines. He settled in a small apartment in Pasay City, and started a business. Sandara and her family remained at her grandmother’s house in South Korea for some time until her father finally had enough money to relocate them to the Philippines.
Initially, no one in their family was fluent in English or Filipino. However, she learned English and studied Chinese when she began school in the Philippines, and later became quite fluent in Filipino. Her interviews have also shown that she developed Englog and Taglish capabilities.
Sandara left the Philippines and returned to South Korea on August 1, 2007 with her mother and siblings to begin a new life. The next day, August 2, 2007, YG Entertainment reported that they had signed a contract with Sandara[6]. As a new member of the YG family, she joined popular Korean artists and bands such as Big Bang, Se7en, Jinusean, Lexy, and 1TYM.
2NE1 was much anticipated by the fans of YG Entertainment. Before their debut, YG Entertainment had put up numerous videos of the members, Sandara Park, Park Bom, CL, and Gong Minji during practice, and they became well-known as the Female Big Bang. News of the “Female Big Bang” even became highly anticipated overseas, and their fans began to grow. Then, on March 27, 2009, 2NE1 was featured in a commercial for the LG phone Lollipop with Big Bang. 2NE1 gained popularity both through the commercial and the music video of the song “Lollipop” and their debut became a hot topic. On May 6, 2009, two versions of their debut song “Fire“‘s Music Video were released. 2NE1 performed their debut stage on May 17th on SBS Inkigayo. Their song “Fire” topped charts for weeks, and 2NE1 hit the top spot again with their song “I Don’t Care” from their first mini-album. The song was released on July 1, 2009 and hit number one on the charts the same day.

Pagkat sa tuwing magtatama ang ating paningin
Umiiwas ako't 'di makatagal at ika'y nauutal
Di ba't tanda iyan ng nagmamahal
Kung alam mo nga lang
Na kaytagal na kitang pangarap
Ang sabi ko sa puso ko
Ang nais na makasama
Ngayon at kailan pa man
Kung hindi ikaw
Huwag na lang sana
Kung alam mo lang na kaytagal ko nang naghihintay
Upang malaman mo kung gaano ko ikaw kamahal
Tanging buhay ko'y ibibigay sa'yo sinta ah
Sabi ko na nga ba iba 'pag nagmahal
Akala ko nung una malabo ang mga bagay sa atin
'Di ko inaasam-asam na ako'y mahal mo rin (ako'y mahal mo rin)
Dahil kung kani-kanino (dahil kung kani-kanino)
Ko pa nalalaman
Ang damdamin mo sa akin sinta
Kung alam mo lang na kaytagal ko nang naghihintay
Upang malaman mo kung gaano ko ikaw kamahal
Tanging buhay ko'y ibibigay sa'yo sinta ah
Sabi ko na nga ba (sabi ko na nga ba)
Iba ang magmahal (ah)
Kung alam mo lang na kaytagal ko nang naghihintay
Upang malaman mo kung gaano ko ikaw kamahal
Tanging buhay ko'y ibibigay sa'yo sinta ah
Sabi ko na nga ba
Iba 'pag nagmahal

Sabi ko na nga ba kapwa'y mayrong pag-ibig na lihim
I knew it all along that we both have hidden love
Pagkat sa tuwing magtatama ang ating paningin
Because every time our eyes meet
Umiiwas ako't 'di makatagal at ika'y nauutal
I shy away and can't stay too long, and you stumble over your words
Di ba't tanda iyan ng nagmamahal
Isn't that a sign of someone who loves?
Kung alam mo nga lang
If only you knew
Na kaytagal na kitang pangarap
That I've been dreaming of you for so long
Ang sabi ko sa puso ko
What I've been telling my heart
Ikaw lang talaga
Is that it's only you
Ang nais na makasama
The one I want to be with
Ngayon at kailan pa man
Now and forever
Kung hindi ikaw
If it's not you
Huwag na lang sana
I hope it's not anyone else
Kung alam mo lang na kaytagal ko nang naghihintay
If only you knew how long I've been waiting
Upang malaman mo kung gaano ko ikaw kamahal
For you to know how much I love you
Tanging buhay ko'y ibibigay sa'yo sinta ah
I will give you my whole life, my love
Sabi ko na nga ba iba 'pag nagmahal
I knew it, love changes people
Akala ko nung una malabo ang mga bagay sa atin
I thought at first things were unclear between us
'Di ko inaasam-asam na ako'y mahal mo rin
I didn't expect that you have feelings for me too
Dahil kung kani-kanino
Because to anyone else
Ko pa nalalaman
I have no idea
Ang damdamin mo sa akin sinta
What your feelings towards me are, my love
Iba ang magmahal
Loving changes us

Lyrics // letra ;;
Sabi ko na nga ba
Kapwa'y mayroong pag-ibig na lihim
Pagka't sa tuwing magtatama ang ating paningin
Umiiwas ako't 'di makatagal at ika'y nauutal
Hindi ba't tanda iyan ng nagmamahal
Kung alam mo nga lang
Na kaytagal na kitang pangarap
Ang sabi ko sa puso ko
Ikaw lang talaga
Ang nais na makasama
Ngayon at kailan pa man
Kung hindi ikaw
Huwag na lang sana
Kung alam mo lang na kaytagal ko nang naghihintay
Upang malaman mo kung gaano ko ikaw kamahal
Tanging buhay ko'y ibibigay sa'yo, sinta
Sabi ko na nga ba, iba 'pag nagmahal
Alam ko nung una malabo ang mga bagay sa atin
'Di ko inaasam-asam
Na ako'y mahal mo rin
Dahil kung kani-kanino ko pa
Nalalaman ang damdamin mo sa akin, sinta
Kung alam mo lang na kaytagal ko nang naghihintay
Upang malaman mo kung gaano ko ikaw kamahal
Tanging buhay ko'y ibibigay sa'yo, sinta
Sabi ko na nga ba, iba 'pag nagmahal
Kung alam mo lang na kaytagal ko nang naghihintay
Upang malaman mo kung gaano ko ikaw kamahal
Tanging buhay ko'y ibibigay sa'yo, sinta
Sabi ko na nga ba, iba 'pag nagmahal.
