"The One" (stylized as "THE ONE.") is a song by American singer and songwriter Kesha. It was released on June 27, 2025, by her own self-titled record label as the fifth single from her sixth studio album, Period (2025). The single was written and produced by Kesha, with additional writing and production credit to Zhone.[1]

The title of "The One", like all of the other singles, was first teased after it was shown to be one of the character names in the "Joyride" music video.[2]

Composition

"The One" is a "massive, shiny pop song" where Kesha sings about "overcoming relentless heartbreaks only to truly find herself" and "[Kesha] reflecting on her stardom and success, saying she’s found “the love” and declaring herself as The One".[3][4]

Critical reception

Mary Chiney of Beats Per Minute considered "The One" a standout track on Kesha's Period, "featuring all the essential elements of a solid pop song."[5] Conversely, Slant Magazine's Paul Attard found it "over-produced", sounding "like something Katy Perry might have released a decade ago", and added that it's missing "that spark or X-factor" that would make it fun.[6]
