"One More Chance" (Korean: 비처럼 가지 마요; RR: Bicheoleom gaji mayo, lit. "Don't Go Like the Rain") is a single released by the South Korean boy band Super Junior on October 30, 2017, for their studio album, Play.

This single marked the group's return from their two-year hiatus due to most of its members were undergoing their mandatory military service, and the first Super Junior single released under their exclusive label, Label SJ.

Background and release

[edit]

The single was recorded with only seven members present — Leeteuk, Heechul, Yesung, Donghae, Shindong, Eunhyuk, and Siwon.[1] Ryeowook and Kyuhyun were undergoing their mandatory military service starting from October 11, 2016, and May 25, 2017, respectively.[2][3]

Sungmin did not join the comeback after his discharge from the military in 2016 due to the backlash from the fans following his sudden marriage in 2014.[4] Kangin was in hiatus after being caught drunk driving in 2016.[5]

Following the discharge of Eunhyuk, Donghae, and Siwon in the middle of 2017, Sports Dong-a reported that the group would make a comeback at the 12th anniversary of the group on November 6, 2017.[6] However, Label SJ denied the rumour, saying that although the band was preparing for an album, its release date has not been decided.[7]

Label SJ announced the album title as Play on October 18.[8] Donghae first revealed the track on the October 19 episode of SJ Returns and began reciting its lyrics.[9] The October 25th episode revealed that the song was voted as the pre-release single over "Scene Stealer."[10]

On October 30, "One More Chance" was released as a pre-release single ahead of the album's release on November 6.[11]

Composition

[edit]

The song is classified as a pop rock ballad that features a subtle build to guide the song's melodic vocals.[12] It is composed in the key of G Major, with the tempo of 74 beats per minute by the producer J-DUB and Donghae.[13]

Donghae was credited as the co-lyricist and the co-composer

Donghae and J-DUB were credited as the co-lyricist, it was written during the former's mandatory military service and he said he wasn't planning for the song to be a title track.[14] Member Eunhyuk was involved in writing the rap lyrics. He described the song as a retrospective track that evokes the maturity of Super Junior who were already in their second decade in the K-pop industry.[12] Eunhyuk enjoyed his melodic and straightforward lyrics.[15]

Heechul was surprised at Donghae's dedication and his ability to lead the team well during the recording.[10] During Yesung's recording episode, he commented that Donghae's music style is based on analogy and requested that the former to squeeze out his vocal power.[16]

Music video

[edit]

The teaser clip for the music video was released on social media two hours before the full music video release.[12] The music video was uploaded on the midnight of October 31.[17]
