Here You Come Again was a 1977 album by Dolly Parton. The album included Parton's first significant crossover hit in the title single, which reached #3 on the US pop charts in early 1978. Both the album and single also reached #1 on the US country music charts, and earned Parton a Grammy. "Here You Come Again"' was a rare example of a Parton hit that she did not write herself; it was composed by the songwriting team of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. In addition to four of Parton's own compositions, the album also included work by Bobby Goldsboro, John Sebastian, and Kenny Rogers.

In addition to the title single, Parton's composition "Two Doors Down" also scored on both the US pop and country charts, though Parton rerecorded the song as a more laid back pop tune, several months after the album's release, and had the new version of the song replace the old on subsequent pressings of the album. The hit single version was also the new pop version of the song. It was released with "It's All Wrong, but It's All Right" as a double-A-sided single in April 1978, reaching #1 on the U.S. country charts, and making the top twenty on the U.S. pop charts.

The album's success was a culmination of Parton's quest to for pop success. Initial reaction to Here You Come Again was mixed, with many critics and fans disliking the more polished, produced sound of the album, though it proved to be Parton's biggest seller to that point, her first album to sell in excess of one million copies.
