## Key points

- CL has signed with Teddy’s THEBLACKLABEL.
- Their last collaboration was “Lifted” in 2016.
- CL’s first release under the deal is due this month.

## Summary

CL has signed with THEBLACKLABEL, reuniting with producer Teddy for a new solo project after nearly a decade without working together. Their renewed partnership grew from CL’s idea to make a new song for 2NE1’s reunion, and marks a significant new chapter after she left YG Entertainment and established her own label.

The first release under the deal is due this month. Teddy produced most of 2NE1’s catalogue, including “I Am the Best”, while CL’s last collaboration with him was her 2016 solo single “Lifted”. 2NE1’s 2024–25 reunion tour drew more than 258,000 fans; with Park Bom taking time away from group activities and the other members pursuing solo work, CL and Teddy began making music together for her own project.
