Background and recording
"Again" was written by Evans with Venus Dodson, Jerry Harris, and Ivan Barias and Carvin Haggins, with the latter also handling the song's entire prodction. The track is one out of several track on which Evans collaborated with Carvin & Ivan, both of who advised her to record a song for the album that would address her 2004 arrest for drug possession.[1] In a interview with Vibe, Haggins noted, that the original lyrics to "Again" were actually more risqué than the version that was eventually recorded for the album.[1] In the first version of the song's second verse Evans name-checked radio personality Wendy Williams and cited old rumors about a romance with Tupac Shakur.[1]
