“Against All Odds” is the first single off of Westlife’s second album, Coast to Coast and has a rare feature from Mariah Carey.

It is a remake to the song of the same name by English singer-songwriter Phil Collins released in 1984 for the soundtrack of Against All Odds.

Prior to working with Westlife on the song, Mariah released a solo version of the song for her album, Rainbow.

The song is one of the many Phil Collins wrote for his first wife, who had left him. He acknowledges that her coming back to him is against all odds but he still reaches out to her anyway.
