About the song[]
This is the fourth track Duran Duran previewed from the band's 14 studio album Paper Gods after the tracks "Paper Gods" (feat. Mr Hudson) and "You Kill Me With Silence" from YouTube.
"What are the Chances" was released in Digital format to outlets when customers pre-ordered the digital format of Paper Gods; they released "Paper Gods" (feat. Mr Hudson) on the same day.
The track was almost titled "A Diamond Explodes" according to Mr Hudson. It features a shimmering ballad that packs emotion thanks in large part to John Frusciante's virtuoso guitar, as well as Goldfrapp violinist Davide Rossi and Josh Blair's strings arrangement.

Lyrics[]
Any other day and you might have gone walking by Without a second look Any other way but I'm still mystified I'm just trying to change my luck Staring out the world awaiting for the one But the world won't look away The world does not explain So, what are the chances? We'll never know If we take it for granted The diamond explodes What are the chances? Playing with your life or is it destiny Which sets you on a path? Is it out of tries that you're here next to me Or just the aftermath Of moments as the past So, what are the chances? We'll never know If we take it for granted The diamond explodes What are the chances? We are last in the flow I'm looking for answers, oho So, what are the chances? We'll never know If we take it for granted The diamond explodes What are the chances? We are last in the flow I'm looking for answers, oho
