"'Here We Go Again'" is a song by American singer Aretha Franklin. It was written by Trina Broussard, Jermaine Dupri and Trey Lorenz for Franklin's thirty-fourth studio album 'A Rose Is Still a Rose' (1998), while production was helmed by Dupri and Manuel Seal. The song is built around replayed portions of "The Glow of Love" (1980) by Italian-American post-disco group Change. Due to the inclusion of the sample, Mauro Malavasi, David Romani and Wayne K. Garfield are also credited as songwriters. The song was the second single released from 'A Rose Is Still a Rose' in June 1998 and reached number 76 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, also becoming Franklin's fifth number one on the US Dance Club Songs.
Critical reception
Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote, "Although popsters are still basking in the glow of "A Rose Is Still A Rose", R&B tastemakers get to preview another gem from Lady Soul's current opus. This time, she teams up with Jermaine Dupri and Manuel Seal for a shoulder-shakin' jeep cruiser that keeps her on the tip of what kids are vibin', while also keeping it mature enough for older listeners who are less interested in production frills. Pumped by a chorus that simply won't quit, "Here We Go Again" actually has the muscle to be Franklin's biggest multi-format single in ages. How wise of Arista, however, to serve her core audience at R&B radio first."
