"Again" is a song by American recording artist Jessica Sutta which featured American musician, deejay and record producer Kemal Golden. It will be released as her second single from her debut album Sutta Pop, which has yet to be released, via Citrusonic Records. The track comes after the release of Sutta's number 1 dance single Show Me. It was released on March 26.
Written by Sutta, Golden, Alana Da Fonseca and Cameron Nacson, "Again" marks an intriguing next step for the former girl group member of the Pussycat Dolls. Sutta has already scored a Hot Dance Charts hit with her 2011 single "Show Me," but the 30-year-old pop singer tells Billboard that "Again" is a particularly personal dance track. "It talks about the cyclone of energy that happens when the wrong decisions are made in your life over and over again," she says. "Whether it's a lifestyle choice or a bad relationship, it talks about a darker part of my life, but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm grateful for every experience in my life no matter how good or bad they are. It makes me who I am."
The song received positive reviews from critics. It was described as "emotionally uplifting song with a huge chorus backed by melodic synths and breathtaking vocals by Jessica Sutta. Packed with dancefloor highs and smart lyrics, this anthemic track was produced by and features Kemal Golden.DjGrind.net wrote that "Again" is an instant dance floor filler, with a driving beat, soaring synths and huge vocals from Jessica. MTV buzzworthy wrote: |The new track recalls the twinkling, summery House sound of Kelly Rowland's "When Love Takes Over." But it's not such a sweet serenade: "And then you do it again/ 'Cause you needed to feed the sensation," Sutta cries out on the aching club cut edging toward a heavy beat breakdown, as she regretfully returns again and again to a less-than-sugary situation. It's an important lesson: Don't beat yourself up over a bad decision—just dance."
With an intro of invincibility and strength, Sutta allows her soft yet powerful vocals evoke a response from the listener before the dance beat and infectious synths completely take over. While the vibe may feel like one of a carefree nature, the emotional lyrics paint a different picture of an aching heart. “I’ll be waiting, faithful, patient, Always the savior, never, never the saved“, she sings.NotableDance.com described "Again" as an epic dancefloor filler with catchy hooks that are primed for crossover. The airy synth line in the breakdowns are as pretty as the lyrics are dark, making the contrast even more defined. “Again” has one of the most creative lyric videos – combining performance and scenes with the lyric on the screen. Jessica’s dancing and performance is quite emotional, which elevates the clip to a higher level as well.
