(2005)"17 Again" is a song recorded bypop music duoEurythmics . It was written and co-produced by band membersAnnie Lennox andDavid A. Stewart . The song appears on the duo's "Peace" album and was released as the second single in the UK in early2000 ."Peace" was the first album released by Eurythmics in nearly a decade and the feelings of renewal and musical creativity between Lennox and Stewart are clearly referenced in "17 Again"'s lyrics. Reminiscing about the duo's long-standing career in pop music, the song mentions "fake celebrities", "vicious queens", "the stupid papers and the stupid magazines" and makes the conclusion that "sweet dreams are made of / anything that gets you in the scene". The closing of "17 Again" contains an interpolation of 1982's "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)".
