Their debut single album Let’s Have a Party, released on August 12, 2010, featured the lead single “No Playboy”, which peaked at number 56 on the Gaon Digital Chart. The group underwent several lineup changes in their early years, including the addition of Hyuna and the departure of Jaekyung, Bini, Rana, and Euaerin. In August 2011, Nine Muses made a comeback with the digital single “Figaro”, which peaked at number 66 on the Gaon Digital Chart and number 82 on the K-pop Hot 100. The group continued to release successful singles and EPs, including Sweet Rendezvous (2012), Dolls (2013), Wild (2013), and their first studio album Prima Donna (2013).
