"The One" is a song by recording artists Kanye West, Big Sean, 2 Chainz and Marsha Ambrosius from the 2012 GOOD Music album Cruel Summer. The song features additional vocals from James Fauntleroy II.^[1] It samples "Public Enemy No. 1" by Public Enemy and "Double Barrel" by Dave & Ansel Collins. West pays lyrical reference to Scott Disick.

Background and composition[edit]

One day before the album's release, the song surfaced online.^[2] "The One" contains a sample of the 1987 recording "Public Enemy No. 1" by Public Enemy and samples 1970 recording "Double Barrel" by Dave & Ansel Collins also.^[1] West references Kourtney Kardashian's then-partner Scott Disick with the line: "We on the galaxy that haters cannot visit, that's my reality so get off my Scott Disick", which his future wife and then-partner Kim Kardashian tweeted about shortly after the album's release.^[3]

Critical reception[edit]

Billboard viewed West's verse as being the song's highlight, writing that "Big Sean and 2 Chainz spit mediocre rhymes, while 'Ye teases with an inch of lyrical depth".^[4] On the other hand, Mic put forward Sean's verse as being the highlight of it, writing that he has "easily the best verses on "Mercy", "The One", and "Clique" (yes, over Jay-Z)".^[5]

Commercial performance[edit]

On October 6, 2012 the track debuted at number 11 on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 and never appeared on the chart again following on from this.^[6]
