It is co-written by band members Ray Slijngaard and Anita Dels, and was released in March 1995 as the third single from their third album, 'Real Things' (1994). In the US, the song was released as a double a-side single with 2 Unlimited's next European single, "Nothing Like the Rain". It was a Top 10 hit in at least five countries; Belgium, Finland, Lithuania, the Netherlands and Spain. Critical receptionLarry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote, "One of the first act's to merge hi-NRG bounce with rave aggression may finally have the single that sends 'em all the way to the top of the pops. Male rapping and female vamping collide and happily coexist inside a storm of syncopated beats and blippy synth passages." Caroline Sullivan from 'The Guardian' complimented "a slightly pensive lyric" on the "percussive" track.Sullivan, Caroline (17 June 1994). "Music: Escape unlimited - Pop/rock". 'The Guardian'. A reviewer from 'Music Week' stated that it "stays in familiar Euro techno territory", adding that "a mix from Alex Party should help it follow the previous 11 into the Top 20." James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update deemed it as "unexpectedly terrific". Pop Rescue described it as "a belter of a track". Chart performance"Here I Go" scored chart success in many European countries, reaching the Top 10 in Belgium (Flanders), Finland, Lithuania, the Netherlands (number four) and Spain.
