YouTube has a few go around videos. A go around can be declared for a number of reasons such as a runway obstruction or bad weather, in your case it was a runway obstruction in the form of another aircraft. The aircraft in front was probably nowhere near your own flight, it was likely to be a good few thousand feet down the runway but was taking too long to vacate at the next taxiway so the pilots of your flight had no choice but to go around and rejoin the queue for landing. I was in a go around a few year's ago, there was bad weather on approach and as we crossed over the airport barriers a strong crosswind pushed the aircraft sideways so the pilots applied power to the engines, the nose pointed up, the aircraft climbed and we turned around to try again. The second time we landed safely and everyone walked off normally, as if it never happened. Happy flying!
