"Here We Go" is a pop song written by Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, and Matt Gray, originally recorded by Cooper under the alias Moonbaby. The song was initially released as Moonbaby's first (and only) single in 2000, later being covered by Lene Nystrøm in 2003 and Girls Aloud in 2004. It is the basis for the theme song of the French and Canadian animated television series Totally Spies!, with rewritten lyrics to fit the show about action and spies.
Miranda Cooper was introduced to British record producer Brian Higgins by Saint Etienne members Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs in the late 1990s. Cooper began recording music with him under the moniker Xenomania. "As soon as he played me some tracks, I thought 'This feels right.'" She and her sister attended boarding school in Canford Magna in Dorset, England. Thanks to a connection with Pete Tong, Cooper and Higgins were able to sign a deal with London Records. Cooper was signed as a solo artist in 2000 under the alias of Moonbaby. A four-track sampler was released, featuring "Here We Go" and three other tracks: "Moonbaby", "Deadlines and Diets" (later recorded by Girls Aloud), and "I'm Thru with Love" (later recorded by Alesha Dixon).
Moonbaby released "Here We Go" as her debut single on 14 August 2000, with cover art shot by fashion photographer Ellen von Unwerth. The single failed to make the top 75 on the UK Singles Chart. The deal between Xenomania and London Records fell through. Cooper and Higgins, however, went on to write and produce for other artists as Xenomania. "Here We Go" served as the basis for the theme song to the television cartoon series Totally Spies. In 2003, Aqua vocalist Lene Nystrøm covered "Here We Go" for her debut solo album Play with Me. Her version was compared to Girls Aloud's "No Good Advice", also produced by Xenomania. Girls Aloud themselves covered the song a year later for their second album What Will the Neighbours Say?, which was entirely produced by Xenomania.
