"First Single", also referred to as "Bigbang" or "We Belong Together", is the first single by the South Korea hip-hop boy band Big Bang released under YG Entertainment. The single was able to chart for a long 8 months. 5 guys 1 sound - Big Bang. K-pop's new idol group consists of the members G-Dragon, Taeyang, Seungri, Daesung, and T.O.P. Belonging to the YG Entertainment label, they can not only sing in harmony, but also write and arrange music. It's no wonder then that the band members were responsible for the composition of their debut single. Bandleader G-Dragon composed the principal track We belong together, while he and other group member T.O.P penned the song lyrics. It presents a rhythmic up-tempo tune with rap passages. As for the song This Love, it can be traced back to the same-titled smash hit by American rock group Maroon 5, with G-Dragon responsible for the new version's composition, lyrics and music arrangement.

This version comes as CD plus DVD combo that provides exclusive documentary material.
