For Actually in 1987, a standard 7-inch version was made and was intended for release as a single, but Pet Shop Boys were dissatisfied with the mix so Mendelsohn produced a 12-inch remix that was used on the album.

The German 12-inch used the same photograph as the original "West End Girls", taken in August 1983, showing Lowe and Tennant in white T-shirts with a band of light across their eyes.

The Belgian version (pictured) featured Tennant sitting on a set of speakers and Lowe lounging on the ground, both wearing Nike brand anoraks.

[12] Connie Johnson of the Los Angeles Times gave an overall negative review to Actually apart from "It's a Sin", adding: "'One More Chance', the album's only other interesting track, is not bad.

[16] When they embarked on their first tour in 1989, "One More Chance" was staged with the ensemble performing a West Side Story-style choreography against a backdrop of black-and-white images of New York City.

[18] "One More Chance" is featured in the Pet Shop Boys film It Couldn't Happen Here (1988),[19] which ends with the duo performing the song to a crowd of dancers in a nightclub.
