"One by One" is a song by American singer Cher from her twenty-first studio album, It's a Man's World (1995). Co-written by Cher and Anthony Griffiths, two versions of the song were recorded for the album: the original, included on British pressings, is a soul song with elements of rock and was produced by Stephen Lipson. The American mix was produced by Sam Ward and has an feel with slight alterations; additional remixes were created by DJ Junior Vasquez. In the United Kingdom, WEA released the song as the second single from the album on January 6, 1996; in the United States it was issued through Reprise Records as the lead single on May 21.

Contents

Upon release, the song received positive reviews from critics, who deemed it a highlight in It's a Man's World. In the UK, the song reached the chart's top 10. It was less successful in America, barely cracking the Billboard Hot 100's top 60. The Junior Vasquez remixes, however, reached the top 10 on the Maxi-Singles Sales and Dance Club Play charts. To promote the single, a music video was shot. Directed by Marcus Nispel, it depicts Cher singing the song from within a television set; she also delivered performances on a handful of occasions throughout 1996.

Background

In the 1980s, Cher's career as an actress reached its peak: she starred in critically successful films such as Silkwood (1983), Mask (1985), The Witches of Eastwick (1987), and won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Moonstruck (1987). [1] By the early 1990s, however, her movie career came to a halt: having turned down films such as The War of the Roses (1989) and Thelma & Louise (1991), and suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome complicated by pneumonia, she was reduced to "infomercial queen", something that deeply embarrassed her. [1] [2] [3] "The infomercials were just devastating to my career", Cher recalled. [3] On top of that, Faithful (1996), her first major movie since 1990's Mermaids , was a commercial failure. [1] Cher came to the conclusion that something needed to be done if she wanted to revive her career. As part of her comeback, she starred and directed one of the segments of HBO's If These Walls Could Talk (1996), and began working on her twenty-first studio album, It's a Man's World . [3]

The record was Cher's first studio album since 1991's Love Hurts ; she saw it as a way of challenging herself, "it's [me] experimenting with me. I didn't want to sound like I've always sounded on records, because I'm kind of bored with it." She also chose to work with several producers, including Stephen Lipson, as opposed to just one. [4] Most of the songs on It's a Man's World were covers of male-written tracks, as Cher wanted to sing them from a woman's perspective; these included Marc Cohn's "Walking in Memphis" (1991), Don Henley's "Not Enough Love in the World" (1985), and James Brown's "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" (1966). [4] One of the songs on the album, "One by One", was co-written by Cher and the Real People member Anthony Griffiths, and recorded at London's Elephant Studios. [4] [5]

Musically, "One by One" has been described as a mid-tempo soul song with rock influences. [4] [6] Cher sings in a "startlingly soulful" falsetto. In her own words, she tried to "make [my] voice sound different [...] I worked really hard to have more control and not use my vibrato". [4] According to Reprise Records executive Craig Kostich, the lyrics talk about "accepting and loving each other and overcoming problems one by one", and display Cher's "serious, politically conscious" side. [4] The song begins with the sound of "ghostly" guitars, as background vocals repeat the phrase dear daddy, dear daddy, which is blended with Cher's "soft" vocals. [7] [8] In the refrain, she sings We're gonna love one another till morning comes/Seek the sweet salvation for what we've done/Give up resisting one by one, as "chugging" rock guitars play in the background. [7] [8] Towards the middle, a saxophone solo plays. [7] According to the sheet music published by Alfred Publishing Inc., "One by One" is composed in the key of C minor, with Cher's voice spanning from B ♭3 to E ♭5. [9]

An version of "One by One" was created for American markets. Produced by Sam Ward, it was requested by Reprise Records, as they felt the version would that was "sweeping" the United States in the mid-1990s. [10] This version features "crisp jeep rhythms and cushiony synths" beneath the refrain, while Cher's falsetto vocals are "stretched" to give the song a more R&B feel. [10] It also omits the background vocals and saxophone solo. [7] An additional edited version, featuring verses by rapper Melle Mel, was created for American radios. [4] A remix of the single was commissioned by American DJ Junior Vasquez; created with the intention of "[taking] Cher to the dance floor", Vasquez' remix has been noted as bringing the song "into the tribal house realm". [4] It features a "barrage" of sound effects not present in the original, such as percussions and cowbells. [4]

Reception

Critical

Promis deemed it "irresistible", and although he praised the American remixes, he concluded that the original version is "decidedly superior". [6] Dotmusic columnist James Masterton called it, "quite possibly one of the most pure pop tracks [Cher] has ever recorded". [21] Writing for Billboard, Larry Flick opined the song is a "summery jeep pop ditty", as well as a "terrific single". He added: "By the time the chorus breaks in, you're hooked by the brain-embed-melody and lyric[s] that [are] as sweet as can be." [22] Also from Billboard, Michael Paloetta said the track is one of It's a Man's World's "treasures", while Paul Verna referred to it as a "charming" first single. [23] [24] PopMatters ' Peter Piatkowski highlighted the "insanely catchy chorus", further comparing the original version of song to the work of Tina Turner; he also praised the "slinky" American R&B mix.
