Again is the fifth extended play by South Korean girl group T-ara, released on October 10, 2013 by Core Contents Media. It was the first album released after member Lee Areum left the group, and the first to feature the original six-member line-up since T-ara's debut.

Background and release

On October 6, 2013, T-ara announced the impending release of double lead singles to promote their upcoming EP, Again.[1] The album was released digitally on October 10, including the singles "Number 9" (넘버나인) and "Because I Know" (느낌 아니까; Neukkim Anikka) and their music videos.[2] "Number 9" is an electro-pop dance song with sad lyrics and melody. It was choreographed by Yama & Hotchicks, who also choreographed "Bo Peep Bo Peep".[3] "Because I Know" is a mid-tempo song with an acoustic feel.[4]

A repackaged edition of the EP, Again 1977, was released on December 4, 2013. It contains two new songs, "Again 1977" and "Do You Know Me", a remake of Sand Pebbles' 1977 hit, "What Should I Do".[5][6] The EP was repackaged and digitally re-released again, on December 14, 2013, as White Winter with two Christmas songs, "Hide and Seek" and "Middle of Winter Hide and Seek".

The EP reached number 2 on the South Korean Gaon Weekly Albums Chart[7] and number 45 on Japan's Oricon Weekly Albums Chart as a Korean import.[8] The single "Number 9" reached number 5 on the Gaon Weekly Digital Chart[9] and number 4 on Billboard's Korea K-Pop Hot 100.[10] "Because I Know" charted at numbers 41[11] and 21[12] on the Gaon and Billboard charts, respectively.
