It was later announced that a 45-track box set would be released in September 2001, to mark the 10th anniversary of the band's breakthrough album, Nevermind, but it was delayed by a legal battle with Cobain's widow Courtney Love. It was reported in Kerrang! in April 1999 that the surviving Nirvana members, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, were planning a Nirvana box set to be released in 2000 at the earliest. Rumors of a posthumous Nirvana anthology surfaced in the mid-1990s, not long after the death of singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain in April 1994. As of 2016, With the Lights Out had sold 546,000 copies in the US. The box set was planned for release in 2001, but was delayed by a legal battle with Courtney Love, the widow of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain.

The title comes from the lyrics of Nirvana's 1991 single ' Smells Like Teen Spirit'. It contains three CDs and one DVD of previously rare or unreleased material, including B-sides, demos, and rehearsal and live recordings. With the Lights Out is a box set by the American rock band Nirvana, released on November 23, 2004.
