"One and Only" is the ninth track on Adele's 21 (2011). It was written by Adele, Dan Wilson, and Greg Wells. In this uptempo, bluesy ballad, Adele croons to a crush and asks them to be with her.
Although crush songs are certainly a staple on 19, most of 21 is generally about the aftermath of a relationship. It’s certainly interesting to see Adele recovering and moving on while sorting out her affairs with her previous ex.
In the track-by-track interview for *21", Adele describes the track as:
…another happy song, and it’s not about the same guy the record’s about. It’s about someone that I’ve known for years and we’ve always really liked each other and never been together, even though I’m pretty convinced I’m gonna marry this guy in the end.
