"One Thing" is a song by Canadian rock band Finger Eleven and the second single from their self-titled album. Released in September 2003, it won the 2004 MuchMusic Video Award for Best Video. It was written by Scott Anderson, and James Black.

The band had thought their single "Stay in Shadow" would become a popular hit, but strong success fell on "One Thing" instead, although the track didn't find wide mainstream attention until several months after its 2003 release. "One Thing" reached #16 in the US and had exposure on TV series such as Smallville, Scrubs, Law And Order SVU and Third Watch. It was used on World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE's) June 25, 2007, edition of RAW during a tribute video featuring Chris Benoit who had killed himself on June 24.

Music video

The award-winning music video features black and white footage of the band in a surreal nocturnal environment featuring a beach with a checkered pattern shore. A massive hourglass is seen on the checkered floor as well as band members perched on tall stands and leafless trees. Other imagery includes a crow, a woman standing over thousands of candles along a building floor, a symphony orchestra conductor conducting an empty orchestra, and a musical box with a spinning, life-like ballerina. The "One Thing" video is featured on WWE's Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story and Hard Knocks: The Chris Benoit Story DVDs as an extra.
