About One Love

"One Love" is a song recorded by American entertainer Jennifer Lopez for her seventh studio album, Love? (2011). The R&B song was written by Lopez, Anesha Birchett, Antea Shelton and Emile "D'Mile" Dernst II, the song's producer. "One Love" was initially written and presented to Lopez by A-Plus (Birchett and Shelton) and D'Mile to record, however, upon hearing the demo of the song, she was not pleased with its verses. Liking the chorus and idea of the song, Lopez wrote new verses to the song with the song's original writers. "One Love" received generally positive acclaim from music critics, who cited it as a stand-out track on Love?. Critics made note of the song's indirect manner, which according to them contains references to Lopez's ex-boyfriends and husbands, such as Sean Combs and Ben Affleck. Following the release of Love?, it was revealed that Lopez's first husband, Ojani Noa, intended to bring her to court over the song, claiming that it contained lyrics about him without his prior knowledge – violating agreements made between the two following their divorce. Despite this, it has been noted that Noa is not referenced in the song and the lawsuit never transpired.

Took a shot, with the bad boy from the block
Picked my love right from the start
Mister wrong, he plays his part
Back to the beginning, now round two
Try my luck with something new
We danced until we said "I do"
My luck is bad, no more us, two
No me and you

Is it too much to ask
For a real love,
Something that'll last?

Is there one love
Only once in a lifetime?
It's so hard to find
The perfect one to call mine
Is there one love
Somebody that compliments me?
And makes me wanna never leave?
Made just right for me?

Is there one love
One love
One love
One love

It's take three
Could there be a part for me?
Came and swept me off my feet
Went nowhere but kept the ring, once again I'm lonely
Number four, he sang to me but I'm not sure
So worn out, but love just saw
Made me wanna try once more
And I couldn't say no

Is it too much to ask
For a real love
Something that'll last?

Is there one love
Only once in a lifetime?
It's so hard to find
The perfect one to call mine
Is there one love
Somebody that compliments me?
And makes me wanna never leave?
Made just right for me?

Is there one love
One love
One love
One love

What's wrong with the girl
Who wanted everything, good love
Real trust, true meaning oh
Who truly completes me
I'm good on my own, but I have to know

Is there one love
Only once in a lifetime?
It's so hard to find
The perfect one to call mine
Is there one love
Somebody that compliments me?
And makes me wanna never leave?
Made just right for me?

Is there one love
One love
One love
One love

Is there one love
One love
One love
One love

Is there one love
