"I Am the Best" (Hangul: 내가 제일 잘 나가; RR: Naega Jeil Jal Naga) is a Korean single by South Korean girl group 2NE1 from their self-titled second EP. It was digitally released worldwide on June 24, 2011 under the group's label, YG Entertainment. It was released under Capitol Records on December 10, 2014 in the United States.
The song was produced by YG Entertainment's main producer, Teddy Park. It was described as an electronic hip hop track that is similar to 2NE1's debut single "Fire". The style of the song is said to be familiar to the youth who are used to clubbing culture.
The first teaser of the song was released on June 19, 2011 featuring 2NE1's leader, CL. The teaser was posted via YG-Life along with the official artwork of the song. YG Entertainment also revealed that they will release a 10-second snippet of the song each day until the full track release on June 24.
On December 11, 2014, Capitol Records replaced YG Entertainment to distribute "I Am the Best" in the U.S. market. The song subsequently impacted Dance, Mainstream and Rhythmic radios in America the same day.
After a three-day delay on its planned release, the music video of the song premiered on 2NE1's official YouTube channel on June 27, 2011. It was directed by Seo Hyun Seung who also directed their previous music videos like "Fire", "Try to Follow Me" and "Can't Nobody".
Upon the video's release and positively received performances, the group announced a Dance Competition where fans were to attempt the choreography and post it online, and the members of 2NE1 would choose the winner. The winner was an all-female dance troupe from Vietnam called L.Y.N.T.
