With U is the second Japanese mini-album by Big Bang, released on May 28, 2008.[1][2]

Background

After experiencing breakthrough success in their home country with the song "Lies"[3] and "Last Farewell,"[4] Big Bang expanded their endeavors to Japan hoping to produce similar results. In 2009, American music publishing company Sony/ATV Music Publishing accused YG Entertainment of plagiarism, and listed fours songs recorded by several of YG's artists as having plagiarized.[5] Big Bang's single "With U" was included as part of the accusation and deemed to have copied from R&B singer Joe's 2004 single "Ride wit U,"[6] with Sony stating they will take legal actions.[5] YG Entertainment have denied all accusations.[7][8]
