Due to its loud synthesizer-rock-oriented sound, "Twist of Fate" did not make it to the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. However, its B-side, "Take a Chance" (a duet with her Two of a Kind co-star, John Travolta) did reach the Adult Contemporary chart and became a hit, peaking at number three.[citation needed] Its accompanying music video was nominated for Best Video, Short Form at the 27th Annual Grammy Awards, but lost to David Bowie's Jazzin' for Blue Jean.
In 2017, the song was featured in the second season of the Netflix series Stranger Things and included on the soundtrack album, Stranger Things: Music from the Netflix Original Series. The album was nominated for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.
All tracks produced by David Foster except "Coolin' Down" and "Jolene", produced by John Farrar.
