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.

The song Lovey Dovey by T-ARA is a catchy love song with lyrics that express loneliness and the longing for love. The singer of the song sings about spending another day alone and a sense of restlessness as they anticipate the coming days. Despite being surrounded by couples and love, the singer seems to be struggling to find a partner to be with. However, they know that they are capable of loving deeply and long to find someone to share their life with. The song is a powerful message about the universal need to love and be loved, and the feelings of isolation that can come with being single in a world full of romantic couples.
The chorus of the song is particularly memorable, with the repetition of Lovey Dovey Dovey Uh Uh Uh Uh creating a catchy and upbeat rhythm that is easy to sing along to. The sense of desperation and longing in the lyrics of the song is balanced by the upbeat and positive sound of the music, creating a contrast that makes the song both catchy and moving.

@user-hl7ik9so4x
我喜歡T-ara的歌曲以及每個MV
她們每次的舞蹈都很有標誌性
會讓人不斷想重複播放
永遠的6ara
認識她們第一首歌時
是在無糖那首歌開始
後來好奇她們曾唱什麼歌曲
開始翻找她們過去專輯
才發現我有些晚時間去了解她們
因為她們的歌實在都好聽
不管快歌還是抒情歌
都有T-ara專屬的歌曲旋律
好希望有天能看到她們六人合體一次也好
永遠的女王們。

Never saw their shuffle. So OK, just watched it.
Good move, but that is just one move.
T-ara's is an entire sequence of moves, and more elegant.... So, IMO, there is no comparison.
