With Me Again (Japanese: 僕とまた; Boku to Mata) is the first Japanese extended play by South Korean boy band 2PM. It was released on September 29, 2021. It is the first Japanese release by 2PM since all of the group's members were discharged from their mandatory military service.
In 2017, 2PM went on hiatus as the group's members began their mandatory military services.[1][2] On March 20, 2021, Junho became the final member to be discharged.[3]
In July 2021, JYP Entertainment announced that the group will be returning with a mini-album titled With Me Again, their first Japanese release in five years, since the release of their Japanese single "Promise (I'll Be)".[4]
Following the release of the EP, 2PM promoted the title track, "With Me Again", on Japanese television programs such as Music Station and Sukkiri.[5][6]
Composition
The title track, "With Me Again", written and composed by member Jun. K, is characterized by a whistling tone and an intense-sounding introduction.[5] He wrote the song at the beginning of the year, between January 1 and 2.[7] The EP also contains a Japanese version of the title track, "Make It", from the group's Korean album Must, as well as original songs such as "By My Side" and "Urahara."[5]
