Lola Young has released her new single 'One Thing', accompanied by a music video directed by Dave Meyers. The track features Young's spoken word delivery and vocal performance. According to Young, the song initially seems to be about sex, but it encompasses multiple facets, exploring gender roles and aiming to be thought-provoking.
The music video presents diverse scenarios, including a first date, classroom settings, and boxing ring sequences. Young's previous single, 'Messy', from her album 'This Wasn't Meant For You Anyway', achieved significant success, holding the Number 1 position in the UK Singles Chart for four weeks in 2025.
As of April 2025, 'Messy' was declared the UK's biggest song of the year so far, accumulating 597,000 chart units in the first quarter alone and 775,000 in total since its release in June 2024. The album 'This Wasn't Meant For You Anyway' was released on June 21, 2024.
