"One Love" was the sixth single released by the British electronic act The Prodigy in October 1993. It was the first single from the album Music For the Jilted Generation.
Liam Howlett first released the songs "One Love" and "One Love" (Jonny L Remix) as two 12" white labels, called "Earthbound 1" and "Earthbound 2" respectively, in response to growing criticism from the music community about The Prodigy having sold themselves out and become purely commercial. Underground DJs apparently praised the white labels as some of the best of the year, but when it was revealed that Howlett had produced the songs, the DJs shunned the songs. With this act, Howlett had shown that The Prodigy was still capable of making pioneering dance music praised by the underground. This song in particular features rather innovative programming and loop-work in combination with sped-up tribal chants and orchestral strings.
Another reason for the singles huge success was strongly due to the B-Side "Rhythm Of Life" which a lot of fans consider to be one of The Prodigy's best songs ever.[citation needed] "One Love" was also one of the first Prodigy single to not receive a US release.
The music video was created by Hyperbolic Systems and featured computer generated graphics with occasional images of the band members dancing along tribal figures.
