Background
Lovato released her debut studio album, Don't Forget, in September 2008.[1] Shortly thereafter, in January 2009, she had already begun writing material for her sophomore effort.[2] The recording sessions for the album began in January 2009, right after filming from the first season of Sonny with a Chance.[3] According to Lovato, the album's writing process was nearly finished in just two weeks.[3] Unlike Don't Forget, Lovato did not collaborate with the Jonas Brothers for her second album as she wanted to see what her sound would be like without their input.[4] "Here We Go Again" was written by Isaac Hasson, Lindy Robbins and Mher Filian, and produced by Hasson and Filian under the production name SuperSpy.[5] The duo also co-wrote and produced the album track "U Got Nothin' on Me".[5]
"Here We Go Again" was recorded at three different recording studios in California; SuperSpy Studios in Los Angeles, Resonate Studios in Burbank, and The Jungle Room in Glendale.[5] Additional recording took place at Safe House Studios in Greensboro, North Carolina.[5] Co-writer Robbins contributed backing vocals.[5] Hasson provided programming, guitars and synths, and Filian handled programming and keys. The instruments were played by Dorian Crozier, who provided drums, and Kenny Johnson, who played the bass.[5] The song was ultimately mixed by Chris Lord-Alge.[5] "Here We Go Again" premiered during Planet Premiere on Radio Disney on June 17, 2009,[6] and was released as the lead single for the album of the same name via digital download on June 23, through Hollywood Records.[7] It was later released in Australia and New Zealand on July 17, 2009.[8][9]
Composition

It is composed in the key of F major[14] and Lovato's vocal range spans from the low note of F3 to the high note of A5.[15] It has a basic sequence of F–Dm–Dm–Gm/BШаблон:Music–F as its chord progression.[15] The song's lyrics chronicle the protagonist's on-off relationship with an indecisive boy as she sings that "Something about you is so addictive".[16] Lovato explained: "So it's about, basically, being in a relationship where you break up and you make up, and you break up and it's like 'Here we go again, we just keep doing this over and over'."[17]

The Arizona RepublicШаблон:'s Ed Masley referred it to as "an explosion of pop hooks delivered with a winning blend of heartache and bravado".[12] Kerri Mason of Billboard called the song a potential hit single and noted that Lovato "almost sounds like Kelly Clarkson's kid sister".[13] Margaret Wappler of Los Angeles Times compared it to Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" and wrote that Lovato "tells a guy where to stick it over buff guitar lines".[11] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic called the album "not quite as much fun" as Don't Forget, "but still fun, particularly when Lovato tears into hooky power pop like 'Here We Go Again'."[10] Erlewine also named it one of the best tracks on the album.[10] Chicago TribuneШаблон:'s Althea Legaspi referred it to as "anthemic" and "catchy",[18] while Houston Chronicle critic Joey Guerra described it was not as "immediate a grabber" as Lovato's previous singles.[19]
