T-ara's career is marked by hook-heavy dance-pop music, a result of their close partnership with composer Shinsadong Tiger. A broad array of visual concepts have earned the group a "chameleon-like" reputation.
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.

난 마치 마치 마치
눈물의 여신
넌 미친 미친 미친
사랑에 배신
미칠것만 같아 Emotion
당장 내게로 돌아와
사랑해 날 떠나지마
뜨겁게 우린 사랑했는데
제발 돌아와 떠나지마
슬픈 내 가슴에
상처를 줄 자격 없잖아

라라 라라라라라라라라
라라 라라라라라라라라
Tiara come to get down
똑똑똑똑 두드려도
톡톡톡톡 건드려도
너는 대답을 않고
차갑게만 날 보고
이제 와 이별이라니
너 같이 같이 같이
정말 나쁜놈
나 같은 같은 같은
여잘 버린놈
미칠것만 같아 Emotion
당장 내게로 돌아와
사랑해 날 떠나지마
뜨겁게 우린 사랑했는데
제발 돌아와 떠나지마
슬픈 내 가슴에
상처를 줄 자격 없잖아
불꽃처럼 뜨거웠지
너의 사랑은 그랬지
얼어붙은 사랑 얼어버린 마음
나한테 주지는마
Hey Tiara listen to my heart
She\'s got to you
She\'s got to love
She\'s got to you goodbye
이따위 사랑 안할래
상처만 받는 사랑 안할래
나는 차라리 이별을 할래
아름다운 추억
더럽히지 말고 떠나가
라 라라 라라라라라라라라
라라 라라라라라라라라
