Background

"Last Chance" was written by Wayne Wells, Adonis Shropshire, and Bryan-Michael Cox, while production was helmed by the latter.[3] In an interview with Blogcritics, Ginuwine explained: "When I come up with names of songs on a CD, it might actually mean more than what it's actually talking about. In this one, it really signified how I feel about the game and how I feel about myself in the game: If I don't do it right this time, this is my last chance. Another reason was because it was to me a hit [...] When I did it the first day, I knew that there was something special about that song. I still feel that regardless of how much success it has. In my heart I just felt that it was a special song."[1]
