Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)
"Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" (also titled "Against All Odds") is a song by English singer and songwriter Phil Collins recorded for the soundtrack to the 1984 film of the same name. The song is a power ballad in which its protagonist implores an ex-lover to "take a look at me now", knowing that reconciliation is "against all odds", but worth the gamble. The single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, the first of seven for Collins in his solo career. It also topped the charts in Canada, Ireland, and Norway, while peaking at number two on the UK singles chart. The song has been covered by several singers with some versions of which have been successful in both the US and UK markets. It has twice reached number one in the UK with the pairing of Mariah Carey and pop group Westlife in September 2000, and then by Steve Brookstein, the first winner of The X Factor, in January 2005.
