"Deja Vu (All Over Again)" is a song by American rock singer/songwriter John Fogerty. It is the title track, opening track and lead single to his 2004 album.[1] The song reached #4 on the Billboard Adult Alternative chart.[3]
Fogerty wrote this song about the similarities between the Vietnam War and the war in Iraq. He believed the US government was making the same mistakes again.[4] The song started to evolve in 2002 or early 2003. Fogerty stated that "Deja Vu (All Over Again)" is not a political song, but a description about the sadness caused by human losses in the war; musically and thematically it is similar to CCR's classics "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" and "Who'll Stop the Rain".[1]
