“E.S.P.” was a single by the Bee Gees. Released in 1987, it was the follow-up to their successful single “You Win Again”. The a cappella intro found on the album version was edited out for radio airplay.

The original title of the song is “XTC” or “Ecstasy” before the Gibbs realized that it sounded like a drug reference so they changed it to “E.S.P.”.

The single did not do as well as the previous single “You Win Again”, reaching only number 13 in Germany and outside the top forty elsewhere. Warner Bros. pushed “E.S.P.” even more heavily with many alternate mixes on 12-inch singles. The reprise, a piece of the a cappella opening, was used as the closing number of the album.

The single failed to chart in the United States.
