Again

"Again" is a song recorded by American actress and singer Noah Cyrus. It features vocals from rapper XXXTentacion, and was released on September 22, 2017. The song is scheduled to be the third single from Cyrus' debut album, entitled NC-17, scheduled to be released in late 2017.

Background
“Again” received considerable controversy, considering the involvement of rapper and alleged domestic abuser, XXXTentacion. Despite this, “Again” makes for a smooth and dream-like pop duet, in which X becomes the latest in the hip-hop trend of recording a song entirely sung.

Music video
The music video was released on the same day of the single's release and it has over 10 million views (as of October 2017). In the music video, there is an absent appearance from featured artist XXXTentacion. It was filmed in Waverley Cemetery on top of the cliffs at Bronte in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, Australia.

Critical reception
Tatiana Cirisano from Billboard states that "The fiery new track, which arrived along with a music video today (Sept. 22), layers Cyrus' soulful, breathy vocal in the vein of Florence & The Machine's Florence Welch over drum kicks and industrial, metallic production. Meanwhile, XXXTentacion slides in for a slurred, slow-burning verse about being 'somewhere in between in love and broken.' The music video is similarly dark, with Cyrus looming about a graveyard."
