2NE1 's first extended play '' 2NE1 '' ( 2009 ) was preceded by two singles . The first one , " Lollipop " , was recorded with label mate Big Bang and released on March 27 , 2009 to promote the LG Cyon phone . Though a music video was filmed , " Lollipop " was not promoted due to its product advertisement affiliation , which caused issues with the network chart eligibility . The second single , " Fire " , written and produced by 1TYM 's Teddy Park , was released that May and contained elements of hip-hop and reggae . Its music video had two versions — a " space " version and a " street " version . Within the first 24 hours of release , the videos each received over one million views . Both the song " Fire " and the group became popular online search terms . The final single , " I Do n't Care " , was released simultaneously alongside their first eponymous EP in July . Promotional activities quickly followed to demonstrate a softer , more feminine image of the group to contrast the edgier image previously portrayed in " Fire " . " I Do n't Care " became the most downloaded song of that month , later winning Song of the Year at the Mnet Asian Music Awards . Although group members recorded and released their own solo materials in August , they performed a reggae version of " I Do n't Care " on '' Inkigayo '' in September . Due to the remix 's popularity , it was released to digital outlets on September 3 as their next digital single . Buoyed by the success of their singles , sales of '' 2NE1 '' totaled 100,000 copies by the end of the year . 2NE1 later performed at the 6th Asia Song Festival , representing Korea alongside three other groups and later winning the Asian Newcomer 's award . In 2010 , 2NE1 unexpectedly released " Try to Follow Me " in February through various digital outlets without any prior announcement or promotion to support the Samsung 's Corby Folder . The song peaked at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart . That summer , 2NE1 traveled to Los Angeles and London to record English songs for an American debut album with The Black Eyed Peas 's member and music producer will.i.am . The group recorded a total of 10 songs in their initial sessions . The quartet 's first full-length album , '' To Anyone '' ( 2010 ) , was released on September 9 , and debuted at number 7 on the Billboard World Album Chart . Prior to the release of the album , it had already received 120,000 preorders . Containing a total of 12 tracks , four singles were released : the top five hits " Clap Your Hands " , " Ca n't Nobody " , " It Hurts ( Slow ) " and the chart-topping " Go Away " . A fifth song " Do n't Stop the Music " was recorded as a " special gift for Thai fans " and was also used in conjunction with the group 's Yamaha Fiore endorsement . At the 2010 Mnet Asian Music Awards , 2NE1 took home the most accolades : " Artist of the Year " , " Best Music Video " for " Ca n't Nobody " , " Best Female Group " , and " Album of the Year " award
