Critical reception

From Contactmusic.com, there are two different reviews. Editor Candice Finney found that "this track is so funky and so much better than his first outing with "Let me love you" [...] What I love about this song is that it kicks ass, its pure R&B and he's certainly a superstar when it comes to writing about his feelings." [2] The other is from JAZZILY, who rated the single three out of five stars, saying "'Here I Go Again' dynamic co-mingling of R&B with the edginess of pop rock, largely thanks to the sample from "Grease". Mario's voice beautifully overpowers the songs subtle, yet harsh guitar sound making it an exciting diverse sound". [3]

Commercial performance

Released as the second international single from Turning Point, "Here I Go Again" became a top ten hit on the Dutch Top 40, peaking at number ten. [4] In the United Kingdom, the song debuted and peaked at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart. [5] It also peaked at number four on the UK R&B Singles chart. [6] Elsewhere, "Here I Go Again" reached the top 20 in Australia, Ireland, and Scotland. [7] [8] [9]

Music video

A music video for "Here I Go Again" was directed by Ray Kay. Choreographed by YA Boy Flash, the visuals co-star R&B singer Cassie. [10] The video premiered on MTV in the week of April 7, 2005. [11] In the clip, Mario alternately confronts and romances a sexy woman. The couple's tumultuous relationship plays out in such locations as the streets of New York City, on a rooftop, in a taxi and on a watery stage in front of a truck. Also included are a few choreographed dance set-ups. [12]
