"One More Chance" is a song by American singer-songwriter Michael Jackson. It was written by R. Kelly and included on Jackson's compilation album Number Ones, released on November 22, 2003. The song was later included on the Australian, French, Swedish and Indonesian editions of King of Pop and the Japanese limited edition of The Ultimate Collection box set.[3]

"One More Chance" was the last original single released during Jackson's lifetime. It received a positive reception from music critics and reached the top ten in Italy. It also reached number 5 in the UK. The song also managed to reach the top 30 in Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, and peaked at number 83 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

This was the third song recorded by Jackson titled "One More Chance", the first two having been in 1970 and 1984 for the ABC and Victory albums respectively, while a member of the Jacksons, although the 1984 song has Michael's brother Randy singing the lead vocals.

Music video

Directed by Nick Brandt, Jackson had been shooting the music video late into the night of November 17, 2003 at CMX Studios in Las Vegas, Nevada,[1] but production was stopped following a raid on the Neverland Ranch by the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office in relation to allegations of child sex abuse by Jackson. The single was instead promoted using a montage video of highlights from Jackson's career.[4] [5] [6]

On October 13, 2010, the official website of Michael Jackson announced that the music video would be finished with what footage they had available, and was released in a deluxe DVD box set Michael Jackson's Vision on November 22, 2010.[7] A rough two-minute cut of the video leaked online on November 15, 2010. On November 19, 2010, the full length of the video premiered on Jackson's official website. As with the song being the last brand new single released during his lifetime, the music video is also Jackson's last music video and the only with new footage to be released posthumously. The video begins with a group of people walking onto a stage. The curtain opens to reveal a cafe that Jackson starts dancing in with the group of people watching, revealing they were what brought him the same joy and vice-versa.
