CL complimentarily released the song, which was made for her U.S. debut, slated for early next year, via audio distribution platform SoundCloud on Saturday.

Due to the growing attention, “Hello Bitches” was also officially released on iTunes on Thursday.

Meanwhile, YG Entertainment’s head Yang Hyun-suk recently mentioned about CL in an interview for the fifth season of SBS’ “K-pop Star.”

“We have not been above ourselves ahead of CL’s U.S. debut. Although being the leader of 2NE1 and proficient in four language might make CL a bit easy to prepare for her U.S. debut, still, she is a rookie in the market,” said Yang.

“Personally, I am very satisfied with the dance performance clip of ‘Hello Bitches.’ Frankly, CL hasn’t shown such powerful dance moves, following an intense-tempo track, when she was part of the group. Despite seven years that I spent with her, she gave me a fresh and strong impression through the song.”

As the track was released free of cost in order to promote CL’s forthcoming U.S. solo album, reportedly she will not promote it on TV.
