Buckle up for a sultry ride with One Thing, a fiery standout from Lola Young’s provocative album I’m Only F**king Myself, set to ignite speakers on September 19, 2025. This London-born alt-pop sensation, known for her raw lyricism and genre-bending flair, teams up with producer Oscar Scheller to craft a track that’s equal parts seductive and unapologetic. One Thing pulses with Lola’s smoky vocals and bold confidence, channeling the reckless abandon of fleeting desire with lines like “Break your bed and then the sofa / I wanna pull you closer” and “I don’t even want your number / ‘Cause tonight, I’m your only lover.” It’s a no-holds-barred anthem of living in the moment, dripping with sensuality and defiance.
Building on the introspective edge of her 2023 EP My Mind Wanders and Sometimes Leaves Completely, One Thing blends sultry R&B grooves with indie-pop grit, its pulsing basslines and hazy synths evoking a late-night rendezvous. Fans on X are buzzing, likening its vibe to SZA’s Ctrl era while praising Lola’s fearless storytelling, inspired by her candid takes on love and self-discovery post her 2024 BRIT Awards nomination. One Thing isn’t just a song; it’s a vibe—a bold declaration of wanting what you want, when you want it, no strings attached. Picture Lola in a dimly lit studio, pouring her heart into verses that dance between vulnerability and empowerment, a testament to her rise as a voice for the unapologetically human.

Lyrics of One Thing by Lola Young
[Verse 1]
Oh, Hi
I Wanna Take You On A Little Ride
I Wanna Make You Feel So Nice
I Wanna Make You Feel Appreciated When You’re Deep Up In Me
When You’re Deep Up Inside
I Wanna Show You Just What I Like
I Wanna Kiss You Slow, Wanna Fuck You Rough
I Wanna Eat You Up,
I Wanna Cook You Lunch, I Wanna Love You, Babe
[Pre-Chorus]
You Know Where I Wanna Be, I Want You Right Under Me
Can You Just Live A Little, Let Your Hair Down?
I’m Screaming For You, I Can’t Breathe,
Turn The Light Off, I’ma Wet The Sheets
There’s Plenty Enough For Me To Go ’round
[Chorus]
Break Your Bed And Then The Sofa
I Wanna Pull You Closer
Everybody Wants To Know Ya
But Me, I Only Want One Thing
I Don’t Even Want Your Number
Don’t Care If You Got Another
‘Cause Tonight, I’m Your Only Lover
And I’ma Give You That One Thing
I’ma Give You That One Thing (Uh)
[Verse 2]
You Look So Cute With No Clothes On
It Feels So Right When I’m Acting So Wrong
No Small Talk, That Shit’s Too Long
And You’re Breakin’ My Back, You’re So, So Strong
And I Want You So Bad, Like “Omg”
Turnin’ Off My Phone To Dnd
And A Couple Little Hours Is All I Need
Panties Still On, You Can Go In Between Me, And
[Pre-Chorus]
You Know How I Wanna Be, I Want You Right Under Me
Can You Just Live A Little And Let Your Hair Down?
Nobody Will Ever Know, We Can Put On Our Own Little Show
Save That Big-dick Energy For My Mouth, Yeah
[Chorus]
Break Your Bed And Then The Sofa
I Wanna Pull You Closer
Everybody Wants To Know Ya
But Me, I Only Want One Thing
I Don’t Even Want Your Number
Don’t Care If You Got Another
‘Cause Tonight, I’m Your Only Lover
And I’ma Give You That One Thing (Yeah)
I’ma Give You That One Thing, That One Thing,
That One Thing, That One Thing, Ah
I’ma Give You That One Thing (All Night)
[Outro]
All My Life, All My Life
Been Waitin’ For You All My Life
Gonna Do Me Right, Do Me Right
Oh, Boy, You’re Gonna Do Me, Do Me, Do Me
All My Life, All My Life
Been Waitin’ For You All My Life
Gonna Do Me Right, Do Me Right
Oh, Boy, You’re Gonna Do Me, Do Me, Do Me
All My Life, All My Life
Been Waitin’ For You All My Life
Gonna Do Me Right, Do Me Right
Oh, Boy, You’re Gonna Do Me, Do Me, Do Me
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
