"Here I Go Again" is a song by British stone band Whitesnake. Originally released on their 1982 album, Saints & Sinners, the power ballad was re-recorded for their 1987 self-titled album.

Background and writing [edit]

The song was written by the lead vocaliser, 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 step.[10] The re-recording of the vocal in 1987 was advised past record labels bosses Al Coury and David Geffen as a negotiation deal with Coverdale to re-record "Crying in the Rain" for the band'due south self-titled anthology Whitesnake released in 1987.[eleven] [12] [13]

The chorus of the original version features the lines:

And here I go once more on my own
Goin' downwards the just road I've ever known
Similar a hobo I was born to walk alone

In an interview, Coverdale explained that initially the lyrics had "drifter" but every bit that was already used in unlike songs he chose instead "hobo", however the latter was changed again to "drifter" in the re-recorded '87 version, reportedly to ensure that information technology would not be misheard equally "homo".[10] [12]

The vocal was used in the climax of romantic comedy film Man Upwards (2015).[10]
