"Here We Go Again" has a similar up-tempo composition like previous singles "La La Land" and "Get Back". The song has a moderate synth-rock groove and it is composed in the key of F major with a tempo of 144 beats per minute.[5] The song is set in common time, and Lovato's vocal range spans from F3 to F5.
The song has received generally positive reviews from music critics, with critics comparing it to Kelly Clarkson.
The music video (directed by The Malloys) was filmed on June 8, 2009, and premiered on June 26 on Disney Channel. Through her official sites, fans were told they could participate in the making of the video.[6][7] The video starts with Lovato in her dressing room talking to her boyfriend on the phone. It is assumed that the boyfriend has ended the relationship as she rips up a picture of him. However a few minutes later he calls back but Lovato ignores the phone and heads to the stage where she performs. Her boyfriend is shown visiting the concert, and after Lovato is finished the performance she heads back to her dressing room, where he meets her with a rose, thus beginning their relationship again, staying true to the theme of the song. In this video, Demi Lovato dresses in all black.
On July 3, 2009, the song debuted at number 51 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100,[8] and number 86 on the Canadian Hot 100, eventually peaking at number 61.[9] For the Billboard issue date of August 1, 2009, the song reached number 15 on the Hot 100, becoming Lovato's first top 20 hit as a solo artist. It also hit #1 on the Radio Disney Top 30 Countdown.[10] The song also charted at number 38 on the New Zealand Singles Chart making it her first Top 40 hit there.
