The English title of CL’s new solo song “Bad Girl” is re-translated into “The Baddest Female.”
2NE1’s CL, the leader of the girl group consisting of other members Dara, Bom and Minji, will be making a solo debut for the first time since 2NE1’s first album release 4 years ago. The English title of her first solo song was originally titled “Bad Girl,” but now it is re-translated into a different one.
YG Entertainment, the agency to which CL belongs, told Stars News on May 23, “the original translation of the title was “Bad Girl,” and in the morning (of May 23), we revealed the title. But then afterwards CL suggested “The Baddest Female” instead, and the altered version was accepted. So our final decision was to title it “The Baddest Female,” just like what CL requested.”
“The Baddest Female” is a phrase well liked by all the members of the group, and has been used frequently as part of their autograph for their fans. Initially CL agreed to titling her new song “Bad Girl,” but after much consideration and contemplation she thought “The Baddest Female” gave it a more powerful feel and that also it was a phrase she often used. She suggested, to her entertainment agency, changing the title. CL is known for her politeness and is a “goodie,” but on stage she aims to be cool and powerful but bad at the same time. Thus she liked using the phrase “The Baddest Female.”
YG Entertainment was in full agreement with the newly solo-debuted artist, so the agency as a whole decided to change the English translation from “Bad Girl” to “The Baddest Female.”
When asked whether YG changed its mind because of the overlap with Lee Hyori’s 5th Album title “Bad Girls,” YG answered, “absolutely not.” YG then explained that “the title “Bad Girl” is a name we have decided a long time ago but “The Baddest Female” was also on the list. And there will be no changes made to the original Korean title.”
In the morning of May 23, personnel from YG Entertainment said, “the song “The Baddest Female” is utterly hip-hop with a very slow beat of BPM 70. It embraces Dougie and Dubstep, the newly surfaced genres. It goes amazingly well with the powerful rapping of CL. It is hip-hop, but it is fresh as it breaks away from the conventional hip-hop genre.”
YG added, “CL turns 23 this year. She was only 16 when she first stepped into the YG building with a big dream of becoming a female rapper. Her solo debut is the very first trial after 7 years of training and being part of 2NE1. It is also her very first solo release, after 4 years of 2NE1’s debut in 2009.”

“For “The Baddest Female,” CL travelled all the way to Japan to get private dance lessons. Apart from that she also participated in more than 10 meetings held to discuss the production of her music video. She personally shared her ideas for the outfits and the setting. In the music video, fellow musicians like BigBang’s G-Dragon and Taeyang from YG Entertainment will make an appearance as well. Her artists friends will be helping her out for her solo debut,” person related to the matter explained.
