The group is in accordance with the belief that “Failure was never an option for them,” states group member Jon Gordon. “Even in our down time, the constant love, support and patience from our fans helped keep the fire going.”
Keeping the flame burning is exactly what fans have been doing since the group began their journey in Chicago, after they finished high school. After creating a buzz in their hometown One Chance was formally introduced to the world when the group was given the opportunity to have two features on the soundtrack to the motion picture In The Mix. This feature would lead to the group releasing the “Snap and B” single Look At Her, which featured rapper Fabo of D4L. The success of the single afforded One Chance to the opportunity to perform as a part of the nationwide BET sponsored Scream Tour.
After delays in the release of their debut album One Chance had to make a choice that would eventually make all the difference. “There came a time, when we had to make the decision to take control of our careers,” states Vantrease. “We had to do this our own way.”
Now in 2010 the Atlanta based R&B group who started their music careers singing in Chicago are doing just that, taking control. “We’ve never stopped recording” states Brent staying in the studio is what we feel allowed us to sign with a T-Pain and his label Nappy Boy Entertainment.” “T-Pain is someone who believed in what we were doing” says Michael Gordon. T-Pain was a long time supporter of the group and after a impromptu performance the artist signed the quartet to his Nappy Boy Entertainment imprint shortly thereafter.
With a new team and new outlook on the music industry, One Chance is confident and excited to be on their way to creating some of the same magic that their inspirations have done in the past, an impressive list that includes Boyz II Men, Jodeci, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson Sam Cooke and more. One Chance is currently gearing up for a promotional tour in support their self penned single Sexin’ On You which was produced by Fyre. The smooth R&B song is an excellent blend of classic 90s style with a new age twist that showcases not only the groups strength vocally, but their talent as writers and offers a taste of what you can expect from their forthcoming debut album.
SUICIDE

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And i hate that i caused you so much pain
I'm hurting now
Everywhere i go, I'm facing dark clouds
Barely holding on, I'm fading out
I pushed love far away
It has traveled further than i can go
Ever since she left me it feels like my life is reckless out of control
I committed suicide
I'm cursed without a conscience and i'm dying cause my guardian angel is gone
I've committed suicide
I don't know , I don't know
I've committed suic..(whoo-oh)
I don't know, I don't know
I've committed suic..(whoo-oh)
I don't know, I don't know
I've committed suic..(whoo-oh)
Committed suicide ( whoo-oh)
I just jumped off a bridge and lost the better half of me
Turned my back on love
And I feel like a bird without a wing (who-ooh)
Oh i'm hurting now
Wish i could go back and slow time down
I would turn that frown into a smile
I wish i could show you how much I've changed
I'd do anything to get it back
Committed suicide
Ever since she left me it feels like my life is reckless out of control
I committed suicide
I'm cursed without a conscience and i'm dying cause my guardian angel is gone
I've committed suicide
I don't know , I don't know
I've committed suic..(whoo-oh)
I don't know, I don't know
I've committed suic..(whoo-oh)
I don't know, I don't know
I've committed suic..(whoo-oh)
Committed suicide ( whoo-oh)
I regret the day she left me behind
Why did I waste our precious time
How can i betray the gift that god has given to me ( oh no )
Committed suicide
Ever since she left me it feels like my life is reckless out of control
I committed suicide
I'm cursed without a conscience and i'm dying cause my guardian angel is gone
I've committed suicide
I don't know , I don't know
I've committed suic..(whoo-oh)
I don't know, I don't know

The song "Suicide" by One Chance is a heart-wrenching ballad that delves into the aftermath of a painful breakup. The lyrics are spoken from the perspective of someone who is consumed by regret and self-loathing, as they feel responsible for causing their partner to leave. The opening lines, "I never meant for you to leave and go far away/And I hate that I caused you so much pain," reveal the singer's remorse at having pushed their loved one away.
Throughout the song, we see the singer struggling to cope with the loss of their partner, as they are constantly reminded of their mistakes and haunted by feelings of guilt. The line, "Everywhere I go, I'm facing dark clouds," suggests a sense of hopelessness and despair, as though the singer is unable to see a way out of their current situation. The chorus of the song, with its repeated refrain, "I committed suicide," further underlines the singer's sense of defeat and his belief that he has already lost everything.
Ultimately, "Suicide" is a poignant meditation on the destructive power of regret and self-blame. It speaks to the deep pain and anguish that can be caused by a failed relationship, and the toll it can take on our mental and emotional well-being.
