  • Anastacia co-wrote this on Skype in a hotel room while on tour. She told Bang Showbiz: "My sister, my brother and my mother were in my hotel room getting their hair done and I'm on a Skype call with my co-writer finishing the song 'Take This Chance.'"

    She added: "I was taking all these little pieces of paper from the side of the hotel and writing down notes. That's where all my lyrics are."

    The other co-writers were French DJ David Guetta, Justin Bieber collaborator Jacob Luttrell, Caitlin Morris, Steve Diamond and Johan Carlsson, who has previously penned tunes for One Direction.
