About This Track

“One” is the third single from U2’s 1991 album, Achtung Baby, and was released in 1992. It is widely considered to be one of the band’s greatest songs and is consistently featured in lists of the greatest songs of all time. It was named the 36th greatest song by Rolling Stone on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

According to the One Songfacts, this can be interpreted many ways. It could be about the band, a girl, or an AIDS victim. Bono has said it is “About relationships.”

The song reached #7 in the UK charts, and #10 in the US charts, and reached the top of the US Modern Rock Tracks chart. The writing of the song also helped relieve tensions between band members during the turbulent recording sessions for Achtung Baby.

    This is not my favorite U2 song but it made my cry like no one was watching when I attented their concerts. Listening to 90000 people singing "love is a temple, love the higher law" is pure beauty.

    U2 is really hit and miss for me. this is ok but not my fav. dispite that there is no denying Bono's passionate vocals. You could listen to him sing mary had a little lamb. He has so much heart
