"One Dance" is a song by Canadian hip hop recording artist Drake from his fourth studio album, Views (2016). It features guest vocals from Nigerian Afrobeat artist Wizkid and British singer Kyla.[5] The single samples Crazy Cousinz and Kyla's 2008 UK funky song "Do You Mind?".[6] "One Dance" was produced by Nineteen85, DJ Maphorisa, 40 and Wizkid.[7] and written by Drake, Nineteen85, DJ Maphorisa, Noah Shebib, Ayodeji Balogun, Kyla Smith, Errol Reid and Luke Reid.[8] It was released for digital download on April 5, 2016 and was serviced to US urban, rhythmic, and contemporary hit radio on April 12, 2016.[9][10][11]
"One Dance" was released shortly after the release date for Views was announced, alongside "Pop Style". "One Dance" reached number one in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, becoming Drake's first number-one single in all ten countries as the lead artist. It topped the UK Singles Chart for 15 consecutive weeks, making it the joint-second longest consecutive number one in the country with Scottish band Wet Wet Wet's cover of "Love Is All Around" from Four Weddings and a Funeral. On September 7, 2016, Billboard named "One Dance" the 2016 Song of the Summer.[12] As of September 2016, it has sold 1.8 million copies in the US.[13] On October 15, 2016, "One Dance" became the most played song on streaming media service Spotify, with over 950 million individual streams, overtaking the previous record held by Major Lazer and DJ Snake's "Lean On".[14][15]
Composition
According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com, "One Dance" is written in the key of B♭ minor and has a tempo of 104 beats per minute in common time. The song follows a chord progression of B♭m – D♭ – E♭m, and Drake's vocals span from A♭3 to B♭4.[16]
Critical reception
Pitchfork Media stated of the song: "Kyla's voice and that resonant piano mash are the first things heard before they cave into a throbbing, wine-worthy tropical thumper. The message is as simple as the beat is mesmerizing: "One Dance" is about the spiritual connection two people can have in a club, when vibrations charge the air and they lose themselves. Drake's verses drift while Wizkid's echoing chirps melt into the fabric of the rhythm. In the closing seconds, a series of tones and polyrhythms collapse in on one another as Kyla's croons give way the Drake's once more. It feels symbolic of the full-fledged multiculturalism on display."[17] Luke Morgan Britton of NME called "One Dance" a "dancehall-indebted dancefloor-filler, the size of which we've not heard since 'Hotline Bling'."[18]
"One Dance" was placed at number three on Rolling Stone’s "50 Best Songs of 2016" list, writing: “Aubrey Graham celebrates the big 3-0 by scoring his first Number One hit as a lead artist: a tropical summer jam with a Caribbean lilt that evokes Lionel Richie in pastel-shirt mode. When he mixes in Nigerian singer Wizkid and London diva Kyla, he turns "One Dance" into a utopian fusion of global styles, by way of Toronto.”[19]
Commercial performance
In the United Kingdom, "One Dance" debuted at number 21 on the UK Singles Chart on April 8, 2016—for the week ending date April 14, 2016—with just three days of sales.
