Here I Go (2 Unlimited song)


"Here I Go" is a song recorded by Dutch Eurodance band 2 Unlimited. It was released in March 1995 as the third single from their third album, Real Things. In the US the song was released as a double a side single with 2 Unlimited's next European single, "Nothing Like the Rain". It peaked at number 4 in the Netherlands, number 6 in Belgium and Finland, and number 7 in Spain. On the Eurochart Hot 100, the single peaked at number 29 in April 1995.

Release and reception

The release scored chart success in many European countries reaching the top 10 in Belgium, Finland, the Netherlands and Spain. It was the least successful single release to date in the UK, peaking at number 22.
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "One of the first act's to merge hi-NRG bounce with rave aggression may finally have the single that sends 'em all the way to the top of the pops. Male rapping and female vamping collide and happily coexist inside a storm of syncopated beats and blippy synth passages." Pop Rescue noted the song as "a belter of a track" in their review of Real Things.

Music video

The accompanying video for "Here I Go" was far more arty and modern than previous videos, being shot in black and white, and featuring performance artists on stilts. It was directed by director Nigel Simpkiss and was released in the UK in March 1995. Simpkiss also directed the music videos for "Let the Beat Control Your Body" and "The Real Thing".
