"One Thing" is a 2003 single by Canadian rock band, Finger Eleven from their self titled album. It won the 2004 MuchMusic Video Award for Best Video.

The song didn't find wide mainstream attention until several months after its release. "One Thing" reached #16 in the U.S., and had exposure on TV series such as Smallville, Scrubs and Third Watch. It was used on World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE's) June 25, 2007 edition of RAW during a tribute video featuring Chris Benoit who had died on June 24.

The music video to the song is also featured on WWE's Cheating Death, Stealing Life: The Eddie Guerrero Story and Hard Knocks: The Chris Benoit Story DVDs as an extra.

The band thought originally that one of their singles "Stay In Shadow" would be one of their most popular songs but instead people focused on "One Thing".
