"Let's Go Round Again" is a song by the Scottish funk and R&B group Average White Band. The single peaked at No. 12 in the UK,^[1] No. 53 on the US Billboard Hot 100, No. 40 on the US Billboard R&B chart^[2] and No. 24 on the US Billboard Disco chart.^[3]

The corrected title "Let's Go 'Round Again" can be seen printed on their 1994 compilation album Pickin' Up the Pieces: The Best of Average White Band 1974-1980.^[4]

1994 version

In 1994, the Average White Band decided to remix it after signing with The Hit Label. This version made No. 56 on the UK Singles Chart.^[1]

Louise version

English singer Louise covered "Let's Go Round Again" for her second album, Woman in Me (1997), and released it as the album's second single in November 1997. It charted at No. 10 in the UK, number 21 in Flanders and number 30 in France.^[6]^[7] On the Eurochart Hot 100, the single reached number 30 in December 1997.

Critical reception

Jon O'Brien from AllMusic viewed the song as "a faithful cover".^[8] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "As her former Eternal colleagues move further into R&B, Louise has been just as effectively repositioned as a mainstream pop/dance act. Here, the process continues with a skilful rebuild of the 1980 Average White Band hit which becomes a slick and effective disco stomper with strong '70s overtones."^[9] A reviewer from Music Week gave her version three out of five, declaring it as "a catchy cover", "which is likely to gain momentum from her mammoth tour later this autumn. But it sadly lacks adventure."^[10] Gerald Martinez from New Sunday Times described it as "retro-disco".^[11]
