"Here I Go Again" is a song by the British rock band Whitesnake. It was originally released on their album, Saints & Sinners in October 1982. The song was written by David Coverdale and Bernie Marsden and produced by Martin Birch. The song was re-recorded for their 1987 self-titled album and was released as the album’s lead single. In the United States, both the original song and the original Saints & Sinners album had failed to chart due to it not being released there, but the re-recording eventually reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart as a sleeper hit and remained there for one week, being the band's only number-one single of that chart in their discography to date. It also peaked at #4 on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. The re-recording also peaked at #9 in the UK. "Here I Go Again" is certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). It also reached #1 in Canada, and the top ten in the Netherlands and Ireland, while it charted in several other countries.
