The song in vraag is Britney Spears’ song “Gimme More” which was released in 2007. Britney Spears’ fans noticed a voice and various sounds that sound like Britney Spears in IU’s bonus track version of “Twenty-Three.”
For example, Britney’s voice saying “keep on rocking” can be heard in IU’s song. This is an issue because the song does not credit Britney Spears and it is unclear whether there was any permission gegeven concerning sampling the track.
The singer’s agency, Loen Entertainment, responded to the accusations on November 3 and stated, ” We became aware of [this issue] over the weekend. We have confirmed that the composer who arranged the song used a sample from voice samples he purchased in the past. They were unsure of the origins of the voice sample, so we have contacted Britney Spears’ agency to bevestig whether of not it is her voice.”
Her agency continued, “We plan on discussing the matter and resolving it after we find out the truth. We will notify u after we find out the results.”
They then apologized saying, “We want to apologize for not being meticulous during the album creation process and for worrying fans. We want to thank and apologize to the fans of Britney Spears who brought this to our attention.”

The boy wrote, “I want to learn gitaar until my fingers break. My goal is being able to play lots of different instruments, and one of them is guitar. But my parents aren’t allowing me to play guitar. I wouldn’t ask for anything else but a gitaar right now.”
Afterwards, a commentaar was left on the boy’s post saying, “Someone sent a present for you,” along with the picture of a guitar. Surprisingly, the one who sent the present was none other than the talented IU, seen door her signature on the guitar.
What an angelic surprise!
