Lenny Kravitz wrote, arranged and produced "Again" with his sixth album, Lenny, in mind, then decided it didn't match that record's mood. It became the lone new track on his first Greatest Hits in 2000 instead, and the lead single on Virgin. It's a mid-tempo rock ballad about an old flame, Kravitz wondering whether they'll ever cross paths, or come back together, again.
It climbed to number four on the Billboard Hot 100, his first trip that high in almost nine years, and topped the charts in Iceland and Italy. At the Grammys in 2001 it won Best Male Rock Vocal Performance, the third time running he'd taken that prize after "Fly Away" and "American Woman". Paul Hunter directed the video, with Kravitz and Gina Gershon as two points of a love triangle.
