"One for Sorrow" is a song by Steps, which became the group's first single to make it to the Top 5 on the UK charts. Debuting at #2 (behind Manic Street Preachers' "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next") and spending 11 weeks on the British charts, this song firmly established Steps's intention to revive the ABBA sound, striking a considerable resemblance to The Winner Takes It All. A remixed version of this song became their debut US single in 1999 and also featured on the Drive Me Crazy film soundtrack.

Release


Unlike Steps' previous single, "Last Thing on My Mind", which featured solo vocals by all three girls, Claire performs lead vocals of all of the verses, which are harmonised with Faye, before the entire band join for the chorus. It has since surfaced following the group's reformation in 2011, that after the single, tensions arose in the band due to Richards singing lead vocals on the single, therefore pushing the other four members to the background.


On 29 July 2015 Claire Richards premiered a new solo acoustic version of the track at an event celebrating Pete Waterman's career at the Royal Festival Hall.



Critical reception


Billboard wrote about the song: "U.K. youth quintet Steps is all about conjuring up the timeless Abba in its debut U.S. single, a joyous romp that will propel hands into the air and, with the proper push from Jive, send this song into the upper reaches of the pop charts—where it's already been across much of Europe. This U.S. mix is the tastiest kind of bubble gum, with a happy-go-lucky dance beat from production maestro Tony Moran; a solid, zippy vocal; and a sing-along chorus that sticks with maddening proficiency."[2]
