The group officially debuted in July 2009 with the single "Lies", following line-up changes due to creative differences. Their debut studio album Absolute First Album was released in December 2009 and spawned several hit songs including "TTL (Time to Love)", "Bo Peep Bo Peep", and "You Drive Me Crazy".
T-ara gained nationwide recognition after releasing "Roly-Poly" in 2011, which went on to become the Gaon chart's best-selling single of the year. At the height of K-pop's popularity in Japan, T-ara signed onto management agency J-Rock for $4.7 million—reportedly the highest figure of any Korean girl group expanding into the territory at the time. Both their debut Japanese single and studio album reached number one on the Oricon weekly charts and were subsequently certified Gold. T-ara's late-2011 Korean release Black Eyes spawned three consecutive number ones: "Cry Cry", "We Were in Love" and "Lovey-Dovey".
In 2012, T-ara experienced a dip in popularity as the group faced false accusations of internal discord, resulting in Hwayoung's immediate departure with Areum following a year after. T-ara's later material was released to varying degrees of success before the group began focusing on promotional activities in China, where they attracted attention for their cover of Chopstick Brothers' "Little Apple" in 2014. T-ara is regarded as one of the most popular K-pop girl groups in China.
T-ara's final release as six members was tentatively scheduled for May 2017, ahead of Soyeon and Boram's expiring contracts; however, conflicts with their management delayed What's My Name? until June 2017, effectively without their involvement. Qri, Eunjung, Hyomin and Jiyeon had previously extended their terms with MBK Entertainment until December 2017. After a five-year period without receiving any awards on music shows, T-ara won first place on The Show on June 20.

보고 싶을 거란 니 거짓말
다시 돌아온단 니 거짓말
모두 다 거짓말이야
지켜준단 거짓말
나 없이 못 산단 니 거짓말
이렇게 떠날거면서 날 버릴거면서
왜 내게 약속했니
너 아니면 정말 싫은데
왜 자꾸 날 떠밀어
왜 내 손을 놓으려 해
어쩌다 이렇게 됐는지
어쩌다 이런 건지
이럼 안되는데 안될거 아는데
널 보낼 자신이 없어
사랑한단 거짓말
보고 싶을 거란 니 거짓말
다시 돌아온단 니 거짓말
모두 다 거짓말이야
지켜준단 거짓말
나 없이 못 산단 니 거짓말
이렇게 떠날거면서 날 버릴거면서
왜 내게 약속했니
날 아프게 만들어
날 슬프게 만들어
거짓말이라고 말해 달라고
애원해도 소용 없다고
나는 어떡해 어떡해
니가 가면 난 어떡해
원래 그런 사람이였니
차갑게 떠난 사랑
너 정말 못됐어 너 정말 나빴어
날 이렇게 울려놓고
사랑한단 거짓말
보고 싶을 거란 니 거짓말
다시 돌아온단 니 거짓말
모두 다 거짓말이야
지켜준단 거짓말
나 없이 못 산단 니 거짓말
이렇게 떠날거면서 날 버릴거면서
왜 내게 약속했니
떠나가란 거짓말
돌아보지 말란 내 거짓말
다시 찾지 말란 내 거짓말
모두 다 거짓말이야
날 잊으란 거짓말
우린 다 끝났단 내 거짓말
아무리 생각해 봐도
너 없이는 안돼 다시 내게 돌아와
나나나나 죽을 것 같애
니가 없이 아무것도 못해
나나나나 울기만 해
이별이란 말에 인정을 못해
또또또 가슴이 아파
이러다가 정말 미칠 것 같애
제발 내게 돌아와
다시 내게 돌아와

You lied about coming back to me
모두 다 거짓말이야
Everything you said was a lie
지켜준단 거짓말
You lied about protecting me
나 없이 못 산단 니 거짓말
You lied about not being able to live without me
이렇게 떠날거면서 날 버릴거면서
While leaving me like this, why did you promise me?
왜 내게 약속했니
Why did you promise me?
너 아니면 난 안돼 안돼
I can't live without you
너 아니면 정말 싫은데
I hate it if it's not you
왜 자꾸 날 떠밀어
Why do you keep pushing me away?
왜 내 손을 놓으려 해
Why are you trying to let go of my hand?
어쩌다 이렇게 됐는지
How did it end up like this?
어쩌다 이런 건지
How did this happen?
이럼 안되는데 안될거 아는데
This can't happen, I know it can't
널 보낼 자신이 없어
I can't bring myself to let you go
날 아프게 만들어
You make me hurt
날 슬프게 만들어
You make me sad
거짓말이라고 말해 달라고
I'm asking you to say it was a lie
애원해도 소용 없다고
Even if I beg, it's useless
나는 어떡해 어떡해
What should I do, what can I do?
니가 가면 난 어떡해
What will I do if you leave?
원래 그런 사람이였니
Were you always this kind of person?
차갑게 떠난 사랑
A love that left me coldly
너 정말 못됐어 너 정말 나빴어
You were really mean to me, you were so bad to me
날 이렇게 울려놓고
You make me cry like this
떠나가란 거짓말
It's a lie to say you're leaving
돌아보지 말란 내 거짓말
It's my lie to tell you not to look back
다시 찾지 말란 내 거짓말
It's my lie to tell you not to look for me again
날 잊으란 거짓말
It's a lie to tell me to forget you
우린 다 끝났단 내 거짓말
It's my lie to say that it's all over between us
아무리 생각해 봐도
No matter how much I think about it
너 없이는 안돼 다시 내게 돌아와
I can't live without you, come back to me
나나나나 죽을 것 같애
I feel like I'm going to die
니가 없이 아무것도 못해
I can't do anything without you
나나나나 울기만 해
All I do is cry
이별이란 말에 인정을 못해
I can't accept the word 'goodbye'
또또또 가슴이 아파
My heart hurts again and again
이러다가 정말 미칠 것 같애
I feel like I'm really going crazy like this
제발 내게 돌아와
Please come back to me
다시 내게 돌아와
Come back to me again
