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.

T-ARA Lyrics

もう どんなに呼んでも届かない
Ah 孤独がジリジリ押し寄せる
Ah 破れた心を締めつける
灼熱の砂漠に取り残され
面影探して彷徨うだけ
Kiss me ma baby 早く戻ってきて
ねぇ お願い Day by day
震える夜に 涙が Tok!Tok!Tok!
君の声も温もりも
忘れられるのかな
夢のような思い出も
消えてしまうの? Tok!Tok!Tok!
Kiss me baby I'll must be
stay here day by day
愛してると言って
Kiss me baby just you can
take me day by day
優しくささやいて
Tururururururu Turudu
戻らないと知ってても
Tururururururu Turudu
君を待ってる Day by day
隣で目覚めた朝も 遠い幻なの
永遠誓った夜も
嘘なの? Tok!Tok!Tok!
Kiss me baby I'll must be
stay here day by day
君だけだと言って
Kiss me baby just you can
take me day by day
もう一度抱きしめて
Tururururururu Turudu
戻らないと知ってても
Tururururururu Turudu
君を待ってる Day by day
もしも時間をあの日に戻せるなら
繋いだ手と手
もう離さないのに
あんなに人を愛せない
もう どんな慰めも意味がない
ねぇ 何が二人を引き裂いたの?
ねぇ 何を私は間違えたの?
悲しい詩(うた)を詠う唇
瞳の奥に焼きついた記憶
Kiss me ma baby サヨナラなんて
ねぇ 嘘でしょ Day by day
Kiss me baby I'll must be
stay here day by day
愛してたと言って
Kiss me baby just you can
take me day by day
最後にもう一度
Kiss me baby take me day by day
The lyrics of T-ARA's song Day by Day talks about the aftermath of a lost love. The singer is describing how she seeks a safe haven in the arms of her lover and feels abandoned by everyone else. She compares the end of her love to a dark tunnel, where there is no visible path. The ex-lover has left her feeling scared, like someone who is thirsty in a red desert. The singer asks her lover to kiss her before night fades away and the day ends, and to quickly bring her day after day, as she misses his embrace. She is aware that she loved this person too much and is afraid that when the night ends, her tears will burst out like raindrops. The lyrics describe how the singer is trying to deal with the pain of lost love, but she is lost in memories of the past and overwhelmed by her emotions.
The song's chorus talks about how the singer is seeking her lover's kiss, as he is the source of comfort and stability during this challenging time. She wants to spend as much time as possible with him before the night ends and the day comes. The song continues to describe the importance of the singer's lover in her life, and how she clings to the memories of their past. The singer questions whether the memories will also be scattered like scattered raindrops, losing the sweet fragrance of her lover that remains with her. In the end, the singer pleads with her lover not to forget her and make their love eternal.

내 품은 너에게 피난처
My embrace is a shelter for you
다른 사람에 나는 버려져
I am abandoned by others
사랑 그 끝은 까만 터널 속
The end of love is like a dark tunnel
보이지 않는 길이
The path is unseen
나는 너무 두려워
I am too scared
태양이 내리쬐는 붉은 사막처럼
Like a red desert under the scorching sun
목말라 울고 있는 사람처럼
Like a person crying out thirsty
이 밤이 가기 전에 내게 어서 빨리 Day by Day
Quickly give me Day by Day before this night is over
니 품이 그리워져
I long for your embrace
너무 사랑했나봐
Maybe I loved you too much
이 밤이 지나가면 눈물되어 톡톡톡
When this night passes, tears will fall
저 은빛 달이 지면 사라질까
Will the silver moon disappear when it sets?
아직 남아있는 니 향기
Your scent that still remains
꿈같던 추억들도 흩어질까
Will even the dreamlike memories scatter?
빗물처럼 멀리 톡톡톡
Dripping away like rainwater
사랑한다고 속삭여줘
Whisper to me that you love me
내 눈물이 마르기 전에
Before my tears dry up
(뚜루루루루루루 뚜루두)
(Instrumental)
바람처럼 모두 사라져 버린 너
You disappeared like the wind
하루하루 널 그리며 day by day
Day by day, I miss you more and more
스치는 추억들이 그리운 밤
The night when passing memories are missed
들려오는 너의 목소리
Your voice that I can hear
영원을 약속했던 수많은 밤
The countless nights where we promised eternity
떠나가는 니 모습
Your leaving figure
돌아온다고 말해줘
Promise that you'll come back
우리 사랑 영원하도록
So that our love will be eternal
넌 나를 두고 가라 저 멀리 멀리 길 따라 사라져
Go away, leave me behind and disappear far away down the road
미친 사랑끝 아슬한 낭떠러지
The crazy love that ended on a precarious cliff
질긴 사랑에 감염돼 계속 떨었지
Infected by a tough love, I kept on shaking
슬픈 시를 읊어대는 내 입술이 너의 까만 눈동자에 기억되리
My lips reciting a sad poem will be remembered in your dark eyes
슬프지만 너를 지울래
It's sad, but I will erase you
kiss me baby take me day by day
Kiss me baby, take me day by day

We have watched this together with my childhood friend when it was released newly
I wish that day cos we were happy together
I never imagined came here and watching this mv over and over again while trying to remember those memories we made together
Wish you back my dear
I don't know where are you but I hope we will meet again
T-ara was disbanded when we were separated
But they re-debuted again good luck to them
My everything I hope to meet again and watch this music again

Still one of the greatest k-pop videos (or just music videos in general) to date. This is the MV that made me fall in love with T-ara all those years ago - a video with its own high-fantasy story, great characters, and intriguing plot. Link that with a amazing song and this is peak T-ara to me.
How I wish there was a sequel or follow-up to this.
@aprilianindy3200
Uhh there's a sequel titled Sexy Love.
@beautifuldiamond3629
