"One Big Family" (released 7 July 1997) was the second single by English band Embrace, from their debut album The Good Will Out. It narrowly missed the top 20, peaking at 21. Many people do not realise that the lead track on this EP was actually sung by guitarist Richard McNamara, rather than Embrace's usual singer, his brother Danny.
The songs "Dry Kids" and "Butter Wouldn't Melt" are featured on the B-sides compilation, Dry Kids: B-Sides 1997-2005. The B-side "Dry Kids" gave the name to the collection.
Templecloud have covered the song for use in a KFC advert.
