Sometimes, an artist will want to give a song a second chance. Maybe it just didn't pan out as a single the first time, or maybe it's just so good that it needs another release. Maybe the timing for the first release had the song head-to-head against too many similar songs. Or maybe the topic or tone wasn't liked by audiences the first time around.
Distinct from Rearrange the Song in that the re-release isn't always a re-recording, although the two tropes may overlap.

Alien Ant Farm reissued "Movies", the first single of their album ANThology, thrice, each time with a different video - only the last, after they finally broke out with their cover of "Smooth Criminal", made any impact.

Kacey Musgraves' 2015 single "Dime Store Cowgirl" was released twice, due to it failing to enter the charts on its original release. It failed to chart the second time around, either.

Faith No More's Cover Version of "I Started a Joke" was initially released in 1995, as a B-Side of "Digging the Grave." It then became the band's final single in 1998, promoting the Greatest Hits Album Who Cares A Lot?

The Hives' "Hate To Say I Told You So" and "Main Offender", alongside their parent album Veni Vidi Vicious, were released in 2000 by Swedish independent label Burning Heart Records. Neither song charted, but the 2001 compilation Your New Favorite Band (which also included both songs) hit the UK charts at number 7, so they re-released the singles and the album itself in 2002.

"Welcome to the Jungle", the major label debut from Guns N' Roses, only made a moderate impact on release in the spring of '88. Following the chart-topping success of "Sweet Child of Mine" that summer, "Jungle" was re-released in the fall and peaked at #7 at year's end.

The The Colour And The Shape album track "Walking After You" for the The X-Files: Fight the Future soundtrack a year later, also releasing the new version as a single. The re-recording is similar in feel, but has a less sparse arrangement: While the Colour And The Shape version was performed solely by Dave Grohl (guitar, vocals, and drums) and Nate Mendel (bass), the re-recording was performed by the full band and also featured Craig Wedren on backing vocals and Jerry Harrison, the song's producer, on piano.

Suicidal Tendencies' Still Cyco After All These Years is almost entirely a re-recording of their self-titled debut album from ten years earlier, plus remakes of two songs from the album Join The Army and a straight re-release of a song that was originally a B-Side. At the time, the original self-titled album was out of print, a lot of their current fan base had never even heard it, and the band didn't have the rights to reissue the original recordings themselves. While they tried to be as faithful to the original versions as possible, there were inevitable differences since vocalist Mike Muir was the only original member left in the band, and even Muir himself had significantly changed his singing style over the course of 10 years.

Fugazi first released "Provisional" on their 1989 Margin Walker EP, then re-recorded it for 1990's Repeater, giving it the title "Reprovisional." The band may have decided they weren't happy with their original performance and/or production, because both versions are extremely similar in arrangement.

In 2005, after D's first bassist (Rena) left and was subsequently replaced (by Tsunehito), the members rerecorded and re-released their entire discography (which, at the time, consisted of two EP's, one full-length album, and their then-latest single). Later on, in 2012, the band re-released their 2006 single "Ultimate Lover." The international edition of the Huang Di ~Yami ni Yumareta Mukui~ mini-album also includes four of D's older but well-known songs ("Night-ship 'D'," "Yami Yori Kurai Doukoku no Acapella to Bara Yori Akai Jounetsu no Aria," "Dearest You," and "Sleeper"), although this was mostly because the original releases are all extremely difficult to obtain outside Japan.

Savage Garden originally released "To the Moon and Back" in 1997 as the followup to their Top 10 hit "I Want You", but the song failed to get higher than #37 in the US and #55 in the UK. One year later, when their third single "Truly Madly Deeply" became an international #1 hit, they decided to follow it up by releasing "To the Moon and Back" once more. It performed marginally better in the US the second time out and peaked at #24, but it actually outpeaked "Truly Madly Deeply" in the UK by making it to #3.

The second single from Mark Chesnutt's sixth album Thank God for Believers was "It's Not Over", which originally appeared on his second album, Longnecks & Short Stories. He didn't even re-record it — it was the original version, re-appearing on an album released over six years later.

Foo Fighters had at least two cases of songs being re-recorded.
The The Colour And The Shape album track "Walking After You" for the The X-Files: Fight the Future soundtrack a year later, also releasing the new version as a single. The re-recording is similar in feel, but has a less sparse arrangement: While the Colour And The Shape version was performed solely by Dave Grohl (guitar, vocals, and drums) and Nate Mendel (bass), the re-recording was performed by the full band and also featured Craig Wedren on backing vocals and Jerry Harrison, the song's producer, on piano.
In 1999, a song called "Make a Bet" (whose origins date back to the early 90s!) was the B-side on "Learn to Fly". Two years later, the soundtrack of Out Cold had a re-recording of that song under the title "Win or Lose", which would also be a B-side on "All My Life".

Similarly to the above, Chris Young released "Voices" in 2008. It barely made the top 40, but the next two singles after it went to #1. Based on the momentum of those two, he asked to re-release "Voices" in 2010... and in February 2011, it became his third #1.

After The Human League became a Synthpop success with "Don't You Want Me," their record company re-released "Being Boiled", a single previously released by the group's earlier, and very different, Industrial music incarnation. It still reached the top ten.

Aerosmith's first single "Dream On" peaked at #59 upon its 1973 release. After the band made it big with Toys in the Attic, "Dream On" was reissued, and became the band's first top ten hit. It even paved the way to the Toys single "Walk This Way" get a rewind amidst the next album's singles, and also reach the top 10.

When the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie and subsequent soundtrack album with the Bee Gees and Peter Frampton came out in 1978, Capitol Records re-released The Beatles' original 1967 album with a decal reading "the original classic." This was due to teenagers of the time mistakenly thinking that Frampton and the Bee Gees created the music in it. United Artists would subsequently put Yellow Submarine (with the credit "starring Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band") back into the TV syndication circuit.

Suffocation has been rerecording older material almost continuously since their first full-length release, 1991's Effigy of the Forgotten, which featured three re-recordings of songs from their 1991 EP Human Waste ("Infecting the Crypts", "Mass Obliteration" and "Jesus Wept") and two songs from their 1990 demo Reincremated ("Reincremation" and "Involuntary Slaughter"), balanced against four new songs. 1995's Pierced From Within included rerecordings of "Synthetically Revived" (from Human Waste) and "Breeding the Spawn" (the title track from their production-challenged 1993 effort, one of only two full albums to contain no rerecords). 1998's Despise the Sun EP (their last recording before breaking up for five years) featured their final Human Waste rerecord, "Catatonia". After reuniting in 2003, they forewent any rerecordings on their comeback album, 2004's Souls to Deny, then resumed rerecording Breeding the Spawn songs on their self-titled 2006 album ("Prelude to Repulsion" and "Anomalistic Offerings", the latter of which only saw rerelease in Japan), 2009's Blood Oath ("Marital Decimation"), 2013's Pinnacle of Bedlam ("Beginning of Sorrow") and 2017's ...Of The Dark Light ("Epitaph Of The Credulous").
