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.

Oh oh a I a I say good bye
Oh oh a I a I a
한참을 멍하니

돌아 버리겠어
I'm crazy crazy crazy

정말 너 uh uh uh
너 절대 다시
안볼꺼야 uh uh uh

The lyrics of T-ARA's "Falling U" express the feelings of heartbreak and the pain of falling out of love. The opening lines of "Love is pain, Oh oh a I a I say goodbye" set the theme for the song, with the singer experiencing the pain of love and separation. The lyrics are predominantly in Korean but include a few English phrases such as "pretty baby" and "be my love." The song talks about the singer's attempts to recover from heartbreak but unable to move on from their past love, as they are caught in an emotional paradox of loving their partner intensely but also hating them for leaving. They struggle with the idea of seeing their ex-lover with someone else, unable to forgive them despite themselves loving others and moving on.
The lyrics reveal the difficult struggle of getting over someone and moving on from them. The verse "I'm crazy crazy crazy / 너 너무 미워 / 정말 너 uh uh uh / 너 절대 다시 안볼꺼야 uh uh uh" expresses the singer's anger and pain towards their ex-partner, while the chorus with the repetition of "I'm falling in you / F-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-falling you" emphasizes their desire to hold onto the person they love. The song ends on a sad note, with the singer expressing that there is no way to cope with unrequited love.
