Born in Seoul, South Korea, she spent much of her early life in Japan and France.
It primary incorporates samples of Wu-Tang Clan's 1993 track "Method Man", and had the rapper himself appear in the accompanying music video.
Time magazine referred to her as one of the biggest stars in Asia, and called her the "Future of K-pop in America".
"Lifted" went on to peak at number 94 on the Billboard Hot 100, earning her first entry as a solo artist and second overall, making her the first female South Korean soloist to appear on the chart.
Her first feature on a song recording was Big Bang's "Intro (Hot Issue)" in 2007.
Later that year, Lee performed for the first time on stage at Seoul Broadcasting System's Gayo Daejeon alongside her label mates.
Her first credited appearance in a song was in 2008, with Uhm Jung-hwa's "DJ," in which she rapped.
Lee took on the stage name 'CL' and was placed as the leader and main rapper of 2NE1, alongside Bom, Sandara Park and Minzy.
She debuted and rose to fame as a member of the girl group 2NE1 in 2009, which went on to become one of the most popular South Korean girl groups worldwide.
The group then collaborated with label-mates BigBang for the song "Lollipop" on March 27, 2009, before appearing on SBS's The Music Trend for the first time on May 17, where they performed their official debut single "Fire".
2NE1 achieved significant success with their number-one single "I Don't Care" from their first extended play, 2NE1, which won them the "Song of the Year" accolade at the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards, making them the first rookie group to win a daesang in the same year of debut.

In October 2014, it was announced that CL was planning to debut as a solo artist the following year in the United States, teaming up with Scooter Braun as her manager.
Following the group's hiatus at the turn of 2015, CL pursued a solo career with the release of the standalone singles "Hello Bitches" (2015) and "Lifted" (2016).
The latter single led CL to become the first female Korean solo artist to place onto the Billboard Hot 100, and the third Korean artist to do so overall.
