"One" is a song composed by the rock band Creed. From their 1997 album My Own Prison, it describes the lack of unity in modern society and includes a criticism of affirmative action. It was the band's fourth single. It was also included as a B-Side on the maxi single for their song "With Arms Wide Open".

"One" was released as the last single from the band's debut album My Own Prison in early 1999, and was arguably the most successful single from the album, peaking at #49 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart. "One" was also the only song off Creed's first album that charted on the Billboard Hot 100, charting at number 70. It is one of Creed's highest charting rock singles as well, reaching high chart positions on both the U.S. Mainstream Rock Tracks and the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks charts, rising to number 2 on both, and becoming one of their all-time most successful singles on the Modern Rock Tracks where it spent a total of 31 weeks. This song was used as Ricky Steamboat's entrance theme in 2006 and 2007 RAW Live Events.
