Singer Minzy, the former member of now-defunct girl group 2NE1, will release her first English single “ALL OF YOU SAY” on Dec. 1 in the U.S. and on Dec. 3 in other countries including Korea.

Minzy decided to release the track to celebrate her first solo tour of North America. The singer kicked off the “DANCE BREAK TOUR” on Nov. 21 and will wrap it up on Dec. 9.

“ALL OF YOU SAY” is a combination of K-pop, reggaeton and hip-hop.

The singer made her debut as a member of 2NE1 with the digital single album “Lollipop” in 2009. The group rocketed to stardom thanks to hit numbers including “Fire,” “I Don't Care,” and “Come Back Home.” The group enjoyed success until vocalist Bom was mired in a drug scandal in 2014. The team disbanded in 2016.

Minzy left the group's agency YG Entertainment in 2016 and moved to The Music Works.
