"The One" is the first single from Elton John's 1992 album, also called "The One". The song came a year after "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me", his live collaboration with George Michael, which topped the charts in his native UK and in the US. This single also did well, peaking at #10 on the UK singles chart and peaking a spot higher, at #9, on the Billboard Hot 100.

On bonus footage on his "Live In Barcelona" DVD, John states that he felt an intense connection to Taupin's lyrics for "The One" in light of his personal circumstances around the time of making the album, in particular the line "for each man in his time is Cain until he walks along the beach."
