They surely treated the 21 Secret Listeners like VIPs! Steak, snacks, 2NE1 goodies, the works! ❤

Some anecdotes from the fan:

“Crush” is a fast upbeat song like I am the Best and Can’t Nobody. It’s very unique for a first song in the album, and leaves a mysterious kind of atmosphere. It gives off a very strong impression of 2NE1, a 2NE1 song through and through. The members all shouted “Nolza, Nolza, Nolza” at the end of the song, and it left a great impression.

“Come Back Home” has a pop and reggae and R&B feel that is unlike 2NE1’s past songs. Once you listen to the song, you’ll have the understanding of why it’s the track of the album. It’s a very fresh song, and the verse and chorus are very memorable. The members’ vocals were amazing in the song. 

“너 아님 안돼” has a chorus by Bom and it is a pop song with mid tempo and up tempo beats. Somehow, the song reminds the listener of “Go Away” and “Love is Ouch.”

“살아 봤으면 해” is like Lonely, It Hurts, and Missing You. It is a sad R&B type song. The fan also said, “Dara’s vocals at the beginning of the song was really dreamy.. I really like Dara’s voice a lot in this song.” 

“착한 여자” is a mid tempo R&B song. It has a subject like CL’s “Nappeun Gizibe,” like saying that 2NE1 are bad girls that are good girls. XD

“멘붕” is a typical YG hip hop song that you would expect that showcases CL’s rapping. This is CL’s solo.

“Happy” is a mid tempo pop song that makes you feel happier and bright. It’s a song that gives the feeling of walking on a road during a sunny day, it has a very happy and warm feel.

“Scream” is the Korean version of the Japanese one. 

“Baby I Miss You” was a fan-favorite. There wasn’t a person at the event that didn’t like the song; their reaction to the song was good. It’s like a very chic and fashionable woman, it gives off  a more matured and sophisticated feel of the songs found in the first mini-album (like the girl in the first mini-album grew up into the woman in this song). It’s a song that you’d want to listen to over and over. A song you’d look forward to listening to weekly, but still want to listen more. It’s like people who’ve never eaten chicken don’t crave it, but people who have tasted chicken would want to eat more and more of it.

“Come Back Home, Unplugged” is the highlight of the song. It’s the music people would’ve wanted to listen more to. It’s a simple song to listen to. It minimized the instruments but maximized and highlighted the voices of the members. It’s a good song that made people teary-eyed after we listened to it.
