Patti Zlaket isn’t staging a comeback — she’s stepping into a new chapter with clarity, confidence, and heart. After a standout 2025 that saw her remastered catalog reissued in a three-part deluxe series via Meridian (ECR Music Group), renewed touring momentum, and fresh media recognition, she now delivers the second single from her upcoming album Dance Again. And the title says it all: “Second Chance At Love.”
Produced by Tariqh Akoni — whose résumé includes Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, and Weezer — and featuring elite session talent like legendary bassist Lee Sklar, the track pairs polish with intimacy. But what truly sets it apart is its perspective. Written by Zlaket herself, the song tells its story through the voice of a rescue dog, inspired by her volunteer work at a local animal shelter. It’s a creative choice that gives the single both emotional depth and real-world purpose.
Rather than leaning into sentimentality, Zlaket delivers something more grounded: a reflection on resilience. The song gently underscores the idea that no matter what’s been endured, the ability to love again remains intact. There’s warmth in her delivery — the kind that only comes from lived experience. After decades that have included touring the U.S. and U.K., building a career as a sought-after jingle singer, earning a law degree, and returning to Southern California, Zlaket brings a richness to her voice that feels earned.
With this release, Zlaket isn’t revisiting the past — she’s embracing the present, using her artistry to spotlight both personal renewal and the global issue of overcrowded shelters.
With ‘Second Chance At Love’ I will say it’s a beautifully crafted return
