"One on One" is a song recorded by American duo Hall & Oates for their 1982 album H2O. It peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in March 1983, with the 1983 Compilation albums called Rock 'n Soul Part 1. It also reached number four on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart and number eight on the U.S. R&B chart.

The song's popularity, along with its inherent basketball reference, led to it being used in NBA commercials in the mid-80s.[1] The commercial featured numerous players, including Laker James Worthy performing a 360-degree slow-motion spin move during the sax solo.[2]

In 1998, saxophonist Warren Hill presented a cover of this song off his album Life Through Rose Coloured Glasses.[3][4]
