Background and release

The single was recorded with only seven members present — Leeteuk, Heechul, Yesung, Donghae, Shindong, Eunhyuk, and Siwon.[1] Ryeowook and Kyuhyun were undergoing their mandatory military service starting from October 11, 2016, and May 25, 2017, respectively.[2][3]

Sungmin did not join the comeback after his discharge from the military in 2016 due to the backlash from the fans following his sudden marriage in 2014.[4] Kangin was in hiatus after being caught drunk driving in 2016.[5]

Following the discharge of Eunhyuk, Donghae, and Siwon in the middle of 2017, Sports Dong-a reported that the group would make a comeback at the 12th anniversary of the group on November 6, 2017.[6] However, Label SJ denied the rumour, saying that although the band was preparing for an album, its release date has not been decided.[7]

Label SJ announced the album title as Play on October 18.[8] Donghae first revealed the track on the October 19 episode of SJ Returns and began reciting its lyrics.[9] The October 25th episode revealed that the song was voted as the pre-release single over "Scene Stealer."[10]

On October 30, "One More Chance" was released as a pre-release single ahead of the album's release on November 6.[11]

He described the song as a retrospective track that evokes the maturity of Super Junior who were already in their second decade in the K-pop industry.[12] Eunhyuk enjoyed his melodic and straightforward lyrics.[15]

Heechul was surprised at Donghae's dedication and his ability to lead the team well during the recording.[10] During Yesung's recording episode, he commented that Donghae's music style is based on analogy and requested that the former to squeeze out his vocal power.[16]
