One for Sorrow was a hit single for Steps, a pop group from the UK. It was the group's first single to make it to the Top 5 on the UK charts. Debuting at #2 and spending 11 weeks on the British charts, this song firmly established Steps's intention to revive the ABBA sound. A remixed version of this song is also featured on the Drive Me Crazy movie soundtrack and released in the U.S. during the summer of 1999 when Steps opened for Britney Spears.
