"Opportunity" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Pete Murray. It was released in March 2006 as the second and final single from Murray's third studio album, See the Sun (2005). "Opportunity" peaked at number 29 on the ARIA Singles Chart. At the APRA Music Awards of 2007, the song was nominated for Most Performed Australian Work.[1]

Reception

In 2019, Forte Magazine ranked "Opportunity" as Murray's 2nd best song, saying, "'Opportunity' is one of Murray's many perfect campfire songs as it really does get the crowd singing along".[2]

In July 2022, Stephen Green from The Music ranked "Opportunity" as Murray's 5th best song, saying it "cemented his reputation as a real musician. With minimalist production and a focus on his vocal, this is still a song that's a staple to throw at any Aussie teenager learning guitar."[3]
