"Diplo canceled a session on me and I was so mad at him," said CL to The Fader. "I was drinking a can of Doctor Pepper and wrote the song so I could go home as soon as possible. Diplo ended up loving it."

Over the weekend, CL joined Mad Decent Block Party (MDBP) in Brooklyn, New York alongside performers like Skrillex, Diplo and OG Maco. According to the YG Entertainment blog YG-Life, she "owned the stage with her unique and charismatic rapping style."
Founded by Diplo's record label Mad Decent, the concert series will travel to Toronto, San Francisco and Los Angeles, and CL will reportedly perform at these stops as well.
Her working relationship with Diplo does not stop there, as the producer is reportedly heavily involved with her solo debut.
"I've been active in CL's first full-length album, mostly trying to find a right balance between glossy K-pop attitude and keeping CL positioned where she belongs-as the baddest coolest female out right now," said Diplo.

Earlier in the month, CL's Korean record label YG Entertainment confirmed that the rapper was filming two music videos in the month of August, signaling that her debut is inching closer and closer.
But for those missing CL's style as a 2NE1 member, YG CEO Yang Hyun Suk understands the sentiment.
"Seeing those girl groups, I thought myself. I really want to listen to 2NE1's music," said Yang according to YG-Life.
"You know, 2NE1 is a rare girl group who has a distinct and unique color. However, my focus is not on CL's imminent solo debut in the United States. I believe that CL's success in the country will give a good influence to 2NE1's comeback."
