YG Entertainment said Wednesday that 2NE1’s CL would release her solo track “Hello Bitches” on Saturday. 

The release is rather unexpected as CL has been preparing for her solo debut in the U.S., signing a contract with Scooter Braun’s SB Projects. She also took part in Skrillex’s “Dirty Vibe” and Diplo’s “Doctor Pepper.”

The 24-year-old entered the international spotlight when she performed at the music festival “Mad Decent Block Party” with global artists.

“Hello Bitches” will hit digital retailers at 9 p.m. on Saturday.
