The wait for 2NE1 member CL (Lee Chaerin) to debut in the United States is quickly coming to an end.
On Nov. 19, YG Entertainment announced the upcoming release of CL's English debut song "Hello Bitches" via multiple social media platforms including the company's official blog, Twitter, and Facebook.
Fans have been eagerly anticipating CL's United States debut for some time now. According to YG Life, CL has spent the year working on preparations for her new album. During that time she has lent her voice to several collaboration projects including Diplo's "Doctor Pepper" and traveled around the country as part of the Mad Decent Block Tour.
According to YG, "Hello Bitches" is the pre-promotion song while the final touches are placed on her album. The song is said to be as powerful and intense as CL's image.
A number of well-known individuals in the music industry have lent their hand to CL's upcoming track. YG producer Teddy Park and Jean-Baptiste, who has produced and penned lyrics for artists like Madonna, Rihanna, and The Black Eyed Peas among others, composed the track. The two, along with Danny Chung and CL herself, also took part in writing the lyrics.
"Hello Bitches" will be available for free download on the music sharing service SoundCloud.
In addition to the track, fans can also look forward to a dance video released at the same time. The song's choreography was done by Parris Geobel, who many K-pop fans are already familiar with as she also created the intense and iconic dances for other YG artists including Taeyang's "Ringa Linga" and Big Bang's latest smash hit "Bang Bang Bang." This is Goebel's first collaboration with CL.
"Hello Bitches" will be released on Nov. 21 at 9pm KST (7am EST). The choreography video will be available through YG Entertainment's official blog, VICE's music site Noisey, and fashion channel i-D.
