==Background and writing==
{{coor title dms|40|51|30|N|24|42|22|E|region:GR_type:city_source:GNS}}
The song was written by lead singer, [[David Coverdale]], and former Whitesnake guitarist, [[Bernie Marsden]]. The most notable differences between the original and revamped version are the style of the music (blues versus rock) and a slight change in the lyrics. The chorus of the original version features the lines:
:"An' here I go again on my own
:Goin' down the only road I've ever known
:Like a hobo I was born to walk alone"


Whereas the newer version is:

:"Like a drifter I was born to walk alone"
[[Category:Cities and towns in Greece]]

The change was made because even before finishing writing and recording the 1987 album, Coverdale had decided to release a new version of "Here I Go Again" as one of the singles. He was afraid an American audience might think he was singing "Like a [[homosexual person|homo]], I was born to walk alone" so he changed the lyrics{{fact|date=September 2008}}.

In 1987, EMI released a limited Collectors Poster Edition 'USA Single Remix' 7" vinyl [EMP 35], the B-side of which consists of an engraved signature version, and the sleeve of which unfolds into a poster of the band.

There are two versions recorded in the late 80's by Whitesnake, one has a long and slow keyboard and vocal intro, the other kicks straight in with the band. One was recorded for the album 1987, the other for a U.S single release. They contain two very different guitar solos, Adrian Vandenberg plays the album and video solo and Dan Huff plays the radio edit version.
