Critical reception edit

From Contactmusic.com, there are two different reviews, one from Candice Finney that states: "This track is so funky and so much better than his first outing with "Let me love you" [...] What I love about this song is that it kicks ass, its pure R&B and he's certainly a superstar when it comes to writing about his feelings."[1] The other is from JAZZILY, who rated the single three out of five stars, saying "'Here I Go Again' dynamic co-mingling of R&B with the edginess of pop rock, largely thanks to the sample from "Grease". Mario's voice beautifully overpowers the songs subtle, yet harsh guitar sound making it an exciting diverse sound".[2]

Music video edit

The video was directed by Ray Kay, Costumed designed by June Ambrose and starred model and R&B singer Cassie,[3] the choreography was made by YA Boy Flash. On the week of, April 7, 2005, the music video premiered on MTV.[4] Mario alternately confronts and romances a sexy woman in "Here I Go Again." The couple's tumultuous relationship plays out in such locations as the streets of New York City, on a rooftop, in a taxi and on a watery stage in front of a truck. Also included are a few choreographed dance set-ups.[5]
