That Steven Winwood song plays all of its cards at the very beginning, by having that insanely good keyboard part first and foremost before everything else. The rest of the song is blah. His most popular song is called "Higher Love," which I think was in some Disney movie or other, so you've probably heard that one way more than the other. That song is worse than "Chance" though, at least in my opinion.
I'm learning that you and I have very different tastes in music, which is fine, but it does make me think about the fact that music is one of the best counterarguments to "objective quality." Songs that I think are really good and get caught in my head for literal months, other people will be like, "eh, this is all right" or in some cases "this is terrible." It's very interesting, I think.
