"One Night at a Time" is the title of a song written by Roger Cook, Eddie Kilgallon and Earl Bud Lee, and recorded by country music singer George Strait. It was released in March 1997 as the first single from his album, Carrying Your Love With Me. The song reached the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.
Larry Flick, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that while it has a little more pop-leaning production than a normal Strait record, the melody is "pretty and the flourishes of Mexicali-sounding guitar riffs add an intriguing flavor." He goes on to say that the song has a "light summertime feel to it."[2]
