One Love is a non-album single by The Stone Roses. The single was released in the UK, U.S., Australia, Germany, Japan, Spain, and France, peaking at #4 in the Roses' home country of the UK, their highest charting single up until that time. "One Love" is also available on the 1992 compilation Turns Into Stone, and the 2002 release The Very Best of The Stone Roses.
The song has a decidedly mixed reputation among Roses fans, with some denouncing it for borrowing too much from the success of Fools Gold. Nevertheless, the song contains vivid biblical references prevalent throughout their catalogue.
