"You Win Again" is a song written by Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb and performed by the Bee Gees.
[3] As songwriters, the Gibb brothers received the 1987 British Academy's Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.
[citation needed] In a UK television special on ITV in December 2011, it was voted second (behind "How Deep Is Your Love") on The Nation's Favourite Bee Gees Song.
[5] Cash Box called it "a melodic soft-pop number guaranteed to see instant attention".
[6] Barry Gibb wrote the melody while his brother Maurice conceived the drum machine sounds in his garage.
"[3] Maurice Gibb explained "You Win Again" in a May 2001 interview with Mojo: "When we get together and write, it's not like three individuals ― it's like one person in the room.
"[3]"You Win Again" was a number one single in the UK, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Denmark and Norway, and reached the top ten in Italy, the Netherlands, Australia and Sweden.
[citation needed] Their next charting single, the 1989 hit "One", returned them to the US top ten.
[9] Hoping to capitalize on that success, the song was rereleased as the followup;[10] while it did receive renewed airplay on a number of US radio stations, it did not chart this time.
