Twist of Fate (Olivia Newton-John song)


"Twist of Fate" is a song recorded by English-born Australian singer Olivia Newton-John for the soundtrack to the 1983 film Two of a Kind. It was written by Peter Beckett and Steve Kipner, and produced by David Foster. It reached number four in Australia and Canada, while peaking at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 in January 1984, becoming one of Newton-John's last big hits. Billboard ranked it as number 42 on its listing of the top 100 singles of 1984.
Due to its louder synthesizer-rock-oriented sound, "Twist of Fate" did not make the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. However, its flip side, "Take a Chance", a duet with John Travolta, did reach the Adult Contemporary chart and became a hit there, peaking at number three.
