Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now) is a song originally recorded by Phil Collins in 1984 for the soundtrack to the film of the same name. Mariah Carey covered the song in collaboration with Westlife for her album, “Rainbow” in 1999.
The cover version was a commercial success, reaching the top ten in several countries including the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. The song is a power ballad that showcases Carey’s vocal range and ability to perform emotional ballads.
Critics generally praised Carey’s performance on the song, however some felt that the addition of Westlife’s vocals detracted from the overall recording. Despite this criticism, “Against All Odds” remains one of Carey’s most popular cover songs.
Overall, the song’s message is one of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity, making it a fitting addition to Carey’s discography.
[VERSE1]
How can I just let you walk away?
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath, with you, ooh
You’re the only one who really knew me at all
[VERSE2]
How can you just walk away from me?
When all I can do is watch you leave
‘Cos we’ve shared the laughter and the pain and even shared the tears
You’re the only one who really knew me at all
[CHORUS1]
So take a look at me now, oh there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothin’ left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Ooh, take a look at me now, well there’s just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that’s what I’ve got to face
[Interlude]
[VERSE3]
I wish, I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There’s so much I need to say to you so many reasons why
You’re the only one who really knew me at all
[CHORUS2]
So take a look at me now, well there’s just an empty space
And there’s nothin’ left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Now take a look at me now, ‘cos there’s just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do and that’s what I’ve got to face
[CHORUS FINALE]
Take a good look at me now, ‘cos I’ll still be standin’ here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It’s the chance I’ve gotta take
[Instrumental]
Take a look at me now
