"One" is the third track from Irish rock band U2’s 1991 album, Achtung Baby. The single was released in March 1992. While recording the album, conflict arose between band members over the direction of U2's sound. Tensions almost prompted the band to break up, but they rallied around the improvised writing of "One."

Lyrically, the song describes lead singer Bono's struggles to maintain relationships with others, but has other interpretations. The song reached #7 in the UK charts and #10 in the US pop chart.  It reached the top of the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks and Modern Rock Tracks charts. It peaked at #10 on the Dutch Top 40.

The song is widely considered to be one of the band's greatest songs.  It is consistently featured in lists of the greatest songs of all-time. Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song #36 on their list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time."  Q ranked the song at #1 on its list of the "1001 Greatest Songs of All-Time."

U2 has played the song at every one of their concerts since the song's live debut in 1992.  It has appeared in many of the band's concert films.

In concert, "One" the band often uses it to promote human rights causes.  Bono's charitable organization is called, ONE Campaign. In 2006, U2 re-recorded the song as part of a duet with contemporary R&B singer Mary J. Blige.
