Which R&B artist asked for a "Last Chance" in 2009?

The R&B artist who asked for a “Last Chance” in 2009 was Ginuwine.

The song was released as the lead single from Ginuwine’s sixth studio album, A Man’s Thoughts. It was written by Wayne “Big Wayne” Wells, Adonis Shropshire, and Bryan-Michael Cox, who also produced the track. The lyrics present a romantic plea from someone hoping to prove himself and save a troubled relationship.

“Last Chance” marked an important return for Ginuwine. It became his first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 since “Love You More” in 2003, eventually reaching number 63. It performed even better on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where it peaked at number three.

A common mix-up is confusing Ginuwine’s 2009 song with similarly titled tracks by other artists. This is specifically the R&B single released by the singer born Elgin Baylor Lumpkin, whose earlier hits include “Pony,” “Differences,” and “In Those Jeans.”
