Showing the distinguished color of 2NE1.

This cross-over dance music created by combining different genres including R&B, reggae, and hip-hop
Is a sophisticated song where a modern sound source is put over popular retro melody, the megatrend of
contemporary music.
The later part of the song entertains listeners with a fresh twist into trap, one of the hottest genres of
EDM.
It is a strongly catchy song with an easy chorus melody and lyrics, which make listeners want to sing along
it continuously, at first hearing.

03. GOTTA BE YOU (TITLE)
The intro part is composed of a unique synth sound and rhythmical rapping
And the later part mixes a powerful and exciting beat with an old-school style melody.

04. IF I WERE YOU
A tender piano and unique string sound,
As well as a magnificent drum beat stand out in this sentimental ballad.

05. GOOD TO YOU
A sentimental melody that flows tranquilly like a stream, and a mellow piano sound stand out in this ballad.

06. MTBD (CL SOLO)
MTBD is CL’s solo and a trap music that is composed of a tense drum beat, low bass, and unique synth
sound.
The witty lyrics written by CL by using the concept of “mental collapse”, one of the cultural icons of our
times, entertain listeners.

As well as a sentimental chorus melody catch ears in this pop song.

A powerful drum beat, catchy “Scream” hook line, and unique synth sound catch ears
In this energetic electronic-dance song.
In the intro part, it progresses in a minor code and an ear-catching rap and mid-to-low-pitched melody
add to the energy, While in the later part, a chorus melody in a light major code brings the mood to the
climax powerfully.

09. BABY I MISS YOU
A dreamy sound of electronic piano, unusual code progress that feels mystical,
And the lyrics about a secret crush between a man and woman are catching ears in this sweet urban
R&B song.

10. COME BACK HOME (UNPLUGGED VER.)
Another version of the title track, which is a reinterpretation of the title in an acoustic guitar version.
This song gives a sentimental feel that is different from the dance version, and the unique voice of each
member stands out in this version.

We ask for your interest and support.

Thank you.
