"17 Again" is a song by British pop duo Eurythmics from their eighth studio album, Peace (1999). It was released as the album's second single on 10 January 2000. The lyrics to "17 Again" find the duo reminiscing about their long-standing career in pop music. The closing of "17 Again" contains an interpolation of Eurythmics' 1983 single "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)".

"17 Again" peaked at number 27 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming the duo's 23rd UK top-40 hit. In the United States, the single was serviced to adult contemporary radio outlets while promotional-only remixes were issued for nightclubs. "17 Again" became the first Eurythmics song to reach number one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.

In an interview with Sain magazine, Dave Stewart recalled that Lennox originally presented him with the beginning of "17 Again" at The Church, a recording studio in London; the two subsequently altered the song's mood over the course of its development.[1]
