Steve Mac }} Carey later released a duet version of the song, simply titled
"Against All Odds", featuring newly recorded vocals by Irish boy band
Westlife. The song was released as the first single from the band's second album,
Coast to Coast (2000). The song was released on September 15, 2000. Carey's vocals from the solo version were retained for the duet, though a new instrumental track was produced by Carey and
Steve Mac, featuring a more organic sound with violins. The music video shows Carey and Westlife recording the song and exploring the island of
Capri by boat. The single debuted at number one in the United Kingdom, selling 112,000 copies. It remained at number one in its second week, selling a further 78,500 copies. The song became Carey's second to top the
UK Singles Chart and Westlife's sixth consecutive number one. The song also spent two weeks at number one in Scotland and three in Ireland. It peaked at number three on the continental chart,
European Hot 100 Singles. Its chart success in European countries led to its inclusion on the international editions of Carey's compilation albums
Greatest Hits (2001) and
#1 to Infinity (2015). == Track listings ==
