2NE1 (also known as 2NE1 1st Mini Album) is the eponymous debut extended play by South Korean girl group 2NE1. The album was released by YG Entertainment on July 8, 2009, and contains seven songs composed and produced by Korean producers Teddy Park and Kush.

Background

2NE1's first song was "Lollipop", digitally released on March 27, 2009. The song was created for LG Cyon to promote their Lollipop phone, and it was a joint release with Big Bang; the commercial/music video debuted on March 28, 2009.[1] Although it was not a promoted single (as it was an advertisement song, there were problems with network chart eligibility),[2] "Lollipop" proved to be a strong chart hit, going to #1 on various online charts[2] and topping music television network Mnet's online chart for four weeks in a row.[3] It was also profiled in Perez Hilton's blog.[4] However, questions were raised about the group's future, as the song's success was attributed to the popularity of Big Bang.[5]

On April 30, Yang Hyun-suk revealed that 2NE1's debut song would be a hip hop/reggae song, and that it would be digitally released on May 6, 2009.[6] Titled "Fire", the song was fully written and produced by 1TYM's Teddy Park.[7] Teasers of the song were released on their official website at the beginning of May, with a 20-second clip released on May 1.[8]

YG stated that the EP had already reached the 80,000 sales mark within 2 weeks, which is impressive since 2NE1 is only a rookie. [9] By the end of 2009, 2NE1 sold approximately 100,000 copies.[10] It continued to show strong sales by charting on the 2010 year end chart for Gaon, selling an additional 40,949 copies. It has since sold over 225,000 copies as of 2016.

Singles

"Lollipop", written and produced by Teddy Park, was digitally released on March 27, 2009. Despite not being promoted traditionally by both groups, the song nonetheless was a major success in South Korea; giving the girls a number #1 song before their debut.

"Fire" became a hit on various on- and offline charts. It was released as planned on May 6, with two versions of the music video — a "space" version and a "street" version — released the same day.[11] The videos received over one million views in a day;[12] the view count then increased to two million.[13]

"I Don't Care" was the third single from 2NE1, co-produced by Teddy and YG's newly signed rising producer Kush. Soon after its release, the music video was also profiled in Perez Hilton's blog who declared them his "favorite" Korean girl-group.[14] The single went on to win Song of the Year at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards, making them the first group to win the accolade in the same year of debut, and the second rookie to win after Big Bang for "Lies" (2007).
