"One More Chance" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, first released as their second single in 1984 and re-recorded for their second album Actually in 1987. The track was originally credited to Neil Tennant and producer Bobby Orlando, [2] before Chris Lowe wrote additional music for the album version. [3]

Composition

"One More Chance" was based on an unused backing track Bobby Orlando had recorded for the actor/singer Divine, provisionally titled "Rock Me". [3] Tennant then wrote a lyric for the song while in New York City, exploring themes of masochism and 'romantic paranoia'. [3] Later, in 1987, the middle section was added ("You're so extreme / I want to take you home with me").

Releases

The Bobby Orlando production was released on 12-inch vinyl in the US by Bobcat Records; [4] in Germany, Belgium and Canada by ZYX Records, ChanneL Records and Unidisc respectively; [2] [5] [6] and on 7-inch vinyl in Sweden by Planet Records. [7]

One of the two US singles included an early version of " West End Girls", later their breakthrough single in 1985. The Canadian release featured tracks by Girly and Divine.

The 1987 re-recording was produced by Julian Mendelsohn as a standard 7-inch single and album version. Pet Shop Boys were dissatisfied with the mix so Mendelsohn produced a 12-inch remix, which ultimately ended up on the album. The unused 7-inch mix was eventually released in 2001 on the second disc of Actually / Further Listening 1987–1988. [8]
