"Here I Go Again" is a song by British stone band Whitesnake. Originally released on their 1982 anthology, Saints & Sinners, the power ballad was re-recorded for their 1987 self-titled album. The song was re-recorded again the same twelvemonth in a new "radio-mix" version, which was released as a single and hit number i on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 10 October 1987, and number nine on the Britain Singles Nautical chart on 28 November 1987. The 1987 version also hitting number one on the Canadian Singles Chart on 24 October 1987.

In 2003, Q magazine ranked it 962nd on their list of 1001 "Best Songs Ever".[7] In 2006, the 1987 version was ranked number 17 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the '80s.[8] In 2012 Reader's Poll of Rolling Stone information technology ranked equally 9th amongst Top 10 "The Best Hair Metal Songs of All Time".[2] In 2017, The Daily Telegraph included information technology among Summit 21 all-time power ballads.[ix]

Background and writing [edit]

The vocal was written by the pb vocalizer, David Coverdale, and former Whitesnake guitarist, Bernie Marsden. The most notable difference between the original and re-recorded versions are a slight change in the bluesy lyrics and pace.[10] The re-recording of the song in 1987 was advised past record labels bosses Al Coury and David Geffen as a negotiation deal with Coverdale to re-tape "Crying in the Pelting" for the band's self-titled album Whitesnake released in 1987.[11] [12] [13]

The chorus of the original version features the lines:

And here I go over again on my own
Goin' downwards the only road I've ever known
Like a hobo I was built-in to walk solitary

In an interview, Coverdale explained that initially the lyrics had "out-of-stater" simply every bit that was already used in different songs he chose instead "hobo", notwithstanding the latter was changed again to "drifter" in the re-recorded '87 version, reportedly to ensure that it would not be misheard as "human".[10] [12]

The song was used in the climax of romantic comedy flick Man Up (2015).[10]

Composition [edit]

The vocal is composed in the key of G major and a tempo of 91 BPM.[14]

Music video [edit]

The '82 music video features the band performing the song onstage.[12] The music video for the '87 re-recorded version was directed by Marty Callner.[15] The video includes, too the band's stage performance, appearances past model Julie E. "Tawny" Kitaen, who was married to Whitesnake'southward David Coverdale from 1989 to 1991.[two] [12] Her notable sex-appeal was immediately recognized, having memorable unchoreographed scenes dressed "in a white negligee, writhing and cartwheeling across the hoods of ii Jaguars XJ" which belonged to Coverdale (white) and Callner (black).[15] [16] [17] Coverdale recalls that he even brought choreographer Paula Abdul to the set to bear witness some moves to Coverdale'south girlfriend Tawny, but only to positively exclaim that she couldn't "show her anything".[18] [nineteen] [20] Coverdale's iconic white Jaguar once again appeared in the music video for single "Shut Up & Kiss Me" from their 2019 studio album Flesh & Claret.[18] [21]
