"The One" is a song by Australian singer and songwriter Kylie Minogue taken from her tenth studio album, X (2007). "The One" was written by Minogue, Richard Stannard, James Wiltshire, Russell Small, John Andersson, Johan Emmoth and Emma Holmgren, while production was handled by Stannard and Freemasons. The song was released by Parlophone in Europe and the UK, and by Warner Music in Australia and New Zealand. Originally the song was to be accompanied with a physical release to coincide with the UK leg of the KylieX2008 tour, but was released as digital-only instead becoming Minogue's second digital single after "Over The Rainbow".
"The One" was originally performed by dance music group Laid and Emma Holmgren, but decided to give it to Minogue. For "The One", there is two official composition mixes. The album edit is a midtempo synthpop song, while the single remix is a more upbeat dance-pop song. Freemason decided to remix the original for the single. Lyrically, the song tells a lover that she is the one and wanting him to love her. "The One" was generally acclaimed received from music critics, with many praising the musical composition, lyrical content and, though it was complimented with its remix, the album version was vastly acclaimed more.
Commercially, the song wasn't successful in the music charts, due to very limited promotion. The song did not chart in her native Australia, becoming a failure in the Oceanic region, however it did peak at number ten on the Dance Charts in Australia. However, the song managed to chart inside the top ten in Belgium (Flanders), New Zealand and Slovakia. The song only peaked at thirty-six in the United Kingdom. The song has been performed in every concert since its release, and was only recently played at her 2011 Aphrodite World Tour.
Although the song was released in her native Australia, it failed to make an impact on the Australian Singles Chart. However, the song did peak at ten on the ARIA Dance Charts. In the United Kingdom, the song debuted at thirty-six. However, it later fell out after three weeks in the chart.
