The setlist consisted mostly of CL's previous work with K-pop girl group 2NE1.
The tour is run by the company SIVA Entertainment Group.
Background and development
On September 23, 2016 YG Entertainment announced that CL would hold her a first American tour. She will visit nine cities in North America, with a total of nine shows. The tour's name derives from CL's 2015 Korean language single "Hello Bitches". The tour's announcement followed the release of CL's debut American single "Lifted" on August 19, amid news of an upcoming English-language debut EP.
Controversy
On November 7, fans and concert-goers had noticed that CL have been using the "controversial" version of her song "MTBD (Mental Breakdown)" since the tour started. CL herself apologized using her Twitter account stating that her "engineer sent the old version for this [the] tour". CL then, performed the alternative version on the latter shows.
