CL's New Song 'Lover Like Me' Is A Message To Her Ex

CL began performing at the age of 12, listening to powerful female artists for inspiration including Lauryn Hill, Beyoncé, Missy Elliott and Kelly Clarkson! She's now bringing that energy to her new album, "Alpha," and she reveals she's talking directly to her ex in the song "Lover Like Me." CL also dishes on her custom Alexander Wang dress at this year's Met Gala.

CL is such a natural here, it’s almost like she has attended many talk shows before! I hope CL gets invited to more Talkshows

[@emilevika8621]

I mean, she did attend many talk shows :DD It's logical that she had a lot of interviews over 10 years of her career

[@kyeoptawerk93ah]

Considering she's the leader of 2ne1 and has been on loads of variety shows I would think she could speak well, especially since she's been in the industry over a decade now

It helps that CL went to international school and lived outside Korea so I feel that helps make her comfortable in English interviews

[@ADionisio]

I think its more of western interviews where there's more freedom of expression and openess that she just naturally becomes comfortable. Where as, with korean media she's more cautious with her words just for the fact there's more of a conservative audience
