"Chance" is the third single by Act. It was released by ZTT Records in February 1988, but was quickly withdrawn. This may have something to do with the 12" mix containing an unauthorised sample of ABBA's "Take a Chance on Me". ZTT promptly released the band's fourth single "I Can't Escape from You" a month later.

Two mixes (the full-length 12" version and an instrumental mix) of B-side "Winner 88" were eventually released on the box set version of the 2004 reissue of Laughter, Tears and Rage. This also contained a previously unreleased remix of "Chance" itself, as well as the standard album and single mixes, but not the withdrawn version containing the ABBA sample.
