[edit] Song information

Alive Again was released exclusively throughout Europe, but the song failed to pick up the attention that The Music's No Good Without You received. The single in part suffered from a lack of promotion. In early 2002 Cher had complications with her record company which affected the further promotion for the single, because of this the future plans to release Song for the Lonely and A Different Kind of Love Song as European singles were dropped. Although The Music's No Good Without You was previously released as a club single in the United States, Alive Again still remains un-released in North America.

The song however did enter the Israeli singles chart where it became a top-ten hit and it also entered the German and Norwegian singles chart where it became a top-forty hit in both markets. The song also entered both the Swiss and Romanian charts, but was unsuccessful charting at eighty and fifty-eight.

In 2002, Alive Again was used as the official German Olympic winter plays song in Salt Lake City. ^[1]

[edit] Music video

In 2002, the video for Alive Again was shot and was later released in Europe only. The video features Cher in a blue room singing the song while appearing in many different colored wigs.

The only known remix video made for Alive Again is an un-official version called "Mixmaster F Mix" and instead of using an actual Alive Again remix for the video the demo was used instead. Mixmaster F is a DJ/Dance-Mix creator in Chicago, Illinois. He is well known for his up-tempo re-creations of existing music.

Some Alive Again scenes from the original video were featured on the Dan-O-Rama video mix for Cher's Living Proof: The Farewell Tour intro video.
