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 10 in the UK, number 21 in Flanders and number 30 in France.^[5][6] On the Eurochart Hot 100, the single reached number 30 in December 1997.

Critical reception[edit]

Jon O'Brien from AllMusic viewed the song as "a faithful cover".^[7] 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."^[8] 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."^[9] Gerald Martinez from New Sunday Times described it as "retro-disco".^[10]
