After debuting at #95 on 12/6/2003, and peaking at #83 on 12/13/2003, Michael Jackson’s final original single released in his lifetime — One More Chance — hit the #100 spot of the Billboard Hot 100 on 12/27/2003.
Masterfully combining R&B and pop, “One More Chance” showcases Jackson’s emotive plea for reconciliation and redemption in love. The track’s smooth melodies and heartfelt lyrics embody the signature style that solidified Jackson’s status as the “King of Pop.”
If you think this soulful ballad sounds suspiciously like R. Kelly, there’s a good reason for that – he wrote and produced it!
While “One More Chance” didn’t exactly kill in the U.S., it did enjoy some notable success internationally. In the United Kingdom, the song peaked at number five, while in Italy and Spain, it secured the seventh position. Additionally, it charted within the top 30 in Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, reflecting its widespread appeal.
The accompanying music video for “One More Chance” carries a unique narrative. Directed by Nick Brandt, known for his previous collaborations with Jackson on videos like “Earth Song” and “Stranger in Moscow,” the production commenced in November 2003 at CMX Studios in Las Vegas. However, filming was abruptly halted due to a raid on Jackson’s Neverland Ranch by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office in relation to allegations of child sex abuse by Jackson, leading to the video’s shelving. It wasn’t until after Jackson’s passing that the incomplete footage was revisited and released as part of the 2010 DVD box set, Michael Jackson’s Vision.
Lyrics:
One More Chance
Song by Michael Jackson
Uh huh alright
This time gonna do my best to make it right
Can’t go on without you by my side
Hold on
Shelter come and rescue me out of this storm
And out of this cold I need someone
Oh why oh why why why
If you see her
Tell her this from me
All I need is
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(One more)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(See)
(One more)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(One more)
One more chance at love
(Alright)
One more chance at love
Searching for that one who is going to make me whole
Help me make these mysteries unfold
Hold on
Lightning about to strike in rain only on me
Hurt so bad sometimes it’s hard to breathe
Oh why why
If you see her
Tell her this from me
All I need is
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(One more)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(One more chance for love)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(One more)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
And I would walk around this world to find her
And I don’t care what it takes no
Why
I’d sail the seven seas to be near her
And if you happen to see her
See tell her this from me
One more chance at love
(Yeah, Yeah)
One more chance at love
(Tell her this from me)
One more chance at love
(Yeah, Yeah)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(Lovin’ you)
One more chance at love
(I can’t find)
One more chance at love
(Lovin’ you)
One more chance at love
(Yeah one more)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(For love)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(Yeah I can’t stop)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(Lovin’ you)
One more chance at love
One more chance at love
(I can’t stop)
One more chance at love
(Lovin’ you)
(Aaow)
One more chance at love
(I can’t stop)
One more chance at love
