T-ara (often stylized as T-ARA) is a South Korean girl group that debuted in 2009 under Core Contents Media. Before their debut, there was a high level of interest in the group as they were called the “Super Rookies” and had been training for three years prior. Originally a five-member group composed of Jiae, Jiwon, Eunjung, Hyomin, and Jiyeon, they released their first song “Good Person” for the soundtrack of the Korean drama Cinderella Man in April 2009. After Jiae and Jiwon withdrew from the group two months later, T-ara debuted as a six-member group with the addition of Boram, Soyeon, and Qri in July 2009, releasing their first single “Lies”. Their debut studio album Absolute First Album was released in December 2009 and spawned several hit singles including “TTL (Time to Love)”, “Bo Peep Bo Peep”, and “I Go Crazy Because of You”. The album was followed by the group’s first extended play, Temptastic, in 2010. Their second extended play John Travolta Wannabe (2011) produced “Roly-Poly”, which was nominated for several awards and went on to become the Gaon chart’s number one single of the year. In less than six months, the group released their third extended play Black Eyes (2011), which spawned three number one singles: “Cry Cry”, “We Were in Love”, Uri Saranghaetjanha) and “Lovey-Dovey”. In 2011, T-ara signed a $4.3 million contract with management company J-Rock for their Japanese debut, the highest out of all the Korean girl groups debuting in Japan. The group’s first single was a remake of their 2009 hit “Bo Peep Bo Peep”. It ranked at number one on the Oricon weekly charts with 49,712 copies sold, the first time a debuting Korean girl group has done so in the charts’ history. T-ara released their debut Japanese studio album Jewelry Box in 2012, which peaked at number two on the Oricon charts. The group has added two members to their lineup since debut: Hwayoung in July 2010, Areum in June 2012. The group also intended to add a ninth member, Dani, in December 2012, however her debut was pushed back indefinitely until it was announced she would be added to T-ara N4 instead. Hwayoung later departed the group in July 2012. Areum left in July 2013, only one year after joining. T-ara uses a rotating leader system in which a different member of the group is elected as leader each year, in order to give both the group and the individual members the opportunity to grow in a new direction. Their current leader under this system is Qri. Wikipedia®.

T-ara – Do you Know me? Lyrics:
What do I do? I don’t remember right now
I don’t remember anything
What do I do if you suddenly pretend you know me?
Did we see each other before?
Hey baby yo baby yo
Hey baby yo baby yo
Monday to sunday, what do I do
Hey baby yo baby yo
Hey baby yo baby yo
I don’t know, what do I do, what do I do
The way I talk, my facial expression, the songs I like
How did you know all of that?
What I did yesterday, what time I went
Who told you all of that?
You’re in front of me but I’m seeing you for the first time
No matter how much I think, I don’t remember
I don’t know what you’re talking about
Be clear, what did we do?
Where did we see each other?
Where did we see each other?
So where did we met and what did we do?
Where did we see each other?
Where did we see each other?
Because I know this feeling when you and I first met
What do I do (about this situation)
What do I do?
Do you know my friend? What school do you go to? Nothing sounds right
But why do you seem familiar? Hold on, come here
You are actually my style
It doesn’t matter, I kind of like you
After seeing you for a bit, you’re so cute
I don’t know what you’re talking about
Be clear, what did we do?
Where did we see each other?
Where did we see each other?
So where did we met and what did we do?
Where did we see each other?
Where did we see each other?
Because I know this feeling when you and I first met
What do I do? I don’t remember right now
I don’t remember anything
What do I do if you suddenly pretend you know me?
(Do you know me?)
What do I do
(Oh my god oh oh my god)
What do I do
(is this happening?)
What do I do
(Oh my god oh oh my god)
